m12 architecture design is the studio founded by Michelangelo Olivieri.
BACKGROUNDThe experiences in progress and those matured in the years before the studio was set, have been of fundamental importance: during the years of academic education, the School of Art in Corato has played a key role in the growth and development of the passion for the workshops (jewelry-metals) and the drawing. The IUAV University of Venice offered a unique opportunity to learn from great teachers such as Franco Purini and Sergio Polano and listen to the masterful words of masters such as Achille Castiglioni, Ettore Sottsass, Philip Johnson, Clorindo Head and many more. The first partnership with the studio Zerouno Retail Design of architect Giuseppe Cascino, allowed to learn the operating procedures to approach and engage dynamically the retail design world, creating concepts and designing stores in three continents.
The valuable partnership with Gatti Furnishings of Treviso, allowed to know not only the big brands and the leading companies in the furniture industry, but even to learn, on the field, those devices that have to be considered during the design and construction stage of the living space. The international competitions made together with prestigious studios such as Studio Glass in Venice, but also together with wonderful colleagues such as Michael Klopfer, Alberto de Simone, Stefano Granata and Sergio Fanelli, have constantly feed the passion for research.
Finally, the ongoing partnership with studio Antonello Associati in Jesolo, has allowed to examine fully through a long series of projects, the most diverse architectural themes: from single-family residences to residential buildings; from commercial spaces and offices to tourist resorts. All that in a unique and extremely dynamic reality such as that of Jesolo Lido where, from the Master Plan drawn up by Kenzo Tange to the very recent intervention works by Carlos Ferrater, Richard Meier, Aurelio Galfetti, Goncalo Byrne, Aires Mateus and Zaha Hadid, it is possible to admire one the few international scenarios with an incomparable concentration of paramount projects.
VISIONWe at Studio m12 architecture design look at the future and do so through performing technological tools for the design such as the BIM use, the three-dimensional space exploration and the rendering.
We conduct a constant research of materials, products and daily lifestyle trends. We carefully select our partnership with artisans attentive to tradition but eager to experience and experiment. We like to think that every person who gives life to the project, is part of a sophisticated and complex gear and deserves to be highly considered even for the smallest contribution.
We would like always to have curious, conspiratorial and interested customers to whom offer ideas, suggestions and details, as close as possible to their wishes as we are sure that difference occurs in the field of choices, that sometimes are strong and courageous.
