Feedbacks

Designing with poetry,
building with little,
through the force of
ideas and emotions. The
matter, whatever it is, is
lapsed and is vulnerable,
the emotions no!
They are and remain
indestructible.
Modostudio
Grazie al lavoro, la passione e l'intelligenza di
Francesco e Vanessa, CityVision è diventato un punto
di riferimento anticonvenzionale nel panorama
editoriale architettonico internazionale.
Lunga vita a CityVision.
Juergen Mayer H.
Stunning work. They are super!
Robert Stuart-Smitch
I could not believe they did such
thinks in just 2 years. Great team.
Samuel J. Adams
This is a story about passion.
Two years ago, when the Maxxi and the Macro
had not yet opened, and Rome was like a desert
from a cultural and architectural point of view,
two young architects decided to do something
instead of standing around watching the water
flow from Fontana di Trevi and throwing
magical coins behind their shoulders.
Independently they created a very original
platform, CityVision, creating the first
free press magazine totally devoted to
contemporary architecture; an annual
architecture competition that studied in deep
the future of three famous cities such as Rome,
Venice and New York (and more are coming);
a quarterly event with a series of super cool but
never seen architects in Rome and Italy such
as Joshua Prince-Ramus, Juergen Mayer, Rob
Stuart Smith and Jules Coke.
With an innovative cut, explosive graphics and
enthusiasm, CityVision is strongly shaking the
souls of those still in love with a conservative
architectural approach. As well as being useful
in CityVision there's something good.
