LCA Architetti (Luca Compri Architetti)

LCA (Luca Compri architetti) opened his own studio in the city of Varese (NorthernItaly) in 2004. Luca Compri developed his competences in the field of sustainability and became a successful pioneer regarding construction techniques and construction materials like wood and "raw" earth. In 2008 Compri became a consultant of the Associazione Nazionale Architettura Bioecologica (ANAB). At the same time he was invited as guest speaker at seminars and writes articles. Over the years, the studio is also very active abroad, especially in Chad, Africa. He works on projects of different scale and nature: from concept phase to building phase. In these last years he has built big buildings such as: social housing complex, ecological industrial buildings, grand hotel and universities. He is also involved in smaller projects such as private houses, renovations and experimental micro-architecture. The main interest of the office regards the context and the inner architectural spaces in order to create a comfort situation for the inhabitants of the buildings, with a continuous attempt to melt the unique values of nature with the geometrical and rational soul of architecture.
