The studio took its first steps in early 1970s, initially dealing with planning commissions. We started the new millennium with one of the first examples of industrial heritage reuse in Emilia-Romagna region (Fonderia Lombardini Aterballetto). The year 2009 saw a major turning point, when Zamboni Associati officially took its name and started dealing with large scale and complex programatic challenges, in Italy and abroad. Since then, we pursued a method of working in which both the big scale and the detail are achieved with the same quality. To do so, a well-established expertise is required to carefully interact with clients and partners throughout the design and the realisation phase. ZAA has realized and designed commercial and industrial buildings, public spaces, restorations, regeneration plans, urban and landscape masterplans. We take part in national and international competitions and we are active in the field of exhibition design; we face each project as a unique challenge that pivots around a fruitful discussion with clients and contractors.
