SCAPE architecture is a Paris and Milan based firm, directed by Ludovica Di Falco, architect and founding partner. The italian company –scape s.p.a. was established in 2004, and the french company offscape s.a.s in 2013. Since opening, SCAPE has oriented itself towards both Italian and foreign markets, taking part in numerous architectural competitions in Europe and often beyond the confines of the European Community. The first point of arrival for the company’s strategy of openness was setting up an office in Paris in 2008 and the foundation of a French architecture firm, Offscape s.a.s., in 2013. Today SCAPE works mainly in Italy, France and Switzerland and is organising itself to engage with new markets in a consolidated manner. The word SCAPE refers to a broad notion of landscape, a point of view ranging from the near prospect as far as the horizon. The basis of SCAPE’s mission is the determination to retrieve the twentieth century Italian tradition of architecture and engineering; to return to a type of project design that respects formal research, maintains a dialogue with history, is aware of technical and constructional aspects and of context. Research that encompasses different scales and involves, as the name indicates, the various meanings of panorama: from landSCAPE to citySCAPE. To achieve its objectives SCAPE is fitted out with, on the one hand the most sophisticated digital tools, indispensible to compete on a global scale and, on the other a mode of organisation that favours on-site presence and working with local firms: medium size concerns that are therefore well-established in the context. The firm’s techno-digital efficiency is mainly manifested by the adoption, four years ago, of the BIM philosophy (Building Information Modelling): it stands as SCAPE’s affirmation of its desire to bring construction back to the centre of the design process. Over recent years SCAPE has distinguished itself in numerous national and international competitions and has participated in an equally large number of shows and exhibitions. In 2006 the firm was selected for the Young Architects Prize (Premio Giovani) by the Accademia di San Luca in Rome. In 2008 the French Ministry of Culture and Communication awarded SCAPE with the “Nouveaux Albums des Jeunes Architectes.” In 2010 the firm received the “Romarchitettura 4” prize for best First Work (restoration of an Art Nouveau villa in Rome), and in 2013 the “LEAF AWARD” for best Work-in-Progress, the National Museum for Italian Judaism and the Shoah in Ferrara (Special Mention). In 2013 the firm received the “Leaf Award 2013” - “Special commendation for Best Future Building” with the project MEIS - National Museum of Italian Judaism and the Shoah. In 2014 SCAPE was the “Winner 2014” at the “Iconic Award 2014” for MEIS project (Ferrara) in the category Architecture/Public/Museum, won the First national award “BAR E RISTORANTI D’AUTORE” for Bancovino project in Rome and the Award for the “Giovane talento dell’Architettura Italiana 2014” for the project Multifunctional building ZAC des Lilas, Paris. In 2015 the firm received the “The Plan Awards 2015” in the Sport&Leisure category for the project Multifunctional building ZAC des Lilas, Paris. Since 2005, SCAPE’s management system has been certified according to the norm: UNI EN ISO 9001:2008.
