Traverso Vighy Architetti

The practice is dedicated to share and inspire the idea of a more people-centric architecture, aware of well-being experience, conserving the environment and the landscape. Based in Vicenza in 1996, the studio-workshop has grown from the interdisciplinary experience of Giovanni Traverso and Paola Vighy, graduated in architecture from IUAV and specialized in natural light in UK, at The Bartlett, University College of London. The studio's projects follow a consistent path leading to the design of lightweight buildings, based on experimentation, prefabrication and economy of resources. In the field of lighting design traverso-vighy keeps a careful look at the sustainability thematic: their professional assignments ranges from urban-scale interventions, to the design of lighting systems dedicated to historic buildings and works of art. It also promotes cultural activities to raise awareness of the value of natural light and preservation of darkness
