"Live to the tune of nature"
My background is Baltic. I spent my childhood on the Lithuanian lakes and the North Sea, amidst the beauty and strength of nature. My education started from the Academy of Fine Arts in Vilnius, where I learned to see the world from the viewpoint of the artistic expression in relation to the Landscape and Nature. I came to Italy following my passion for the design and I got a Master at the Domus Academy as one of Andrea Branzi’s disciples. I continued my studies of Lanscape Design and Architecture at the Politecnico of Milano, of which I am also a teacher. I started my professional activities in Milan and in Vilnius after a work experience in Trentino in the field of the well-being and natural living.

"Live to the tune of the metropolis"
I was born in Milan. My education started from the degree in Architecture at the Politecnico of Milan, where I am teaching, and continued with the PhD in Projects and e Urban Policies, focusing on the dual passion for the dynamic metropolis and the relaxing natural and agricultural landscape. I started my professional activities and the one of research on architecture and the city in1985 with projects in Italian and foreign cities, and writing books about the evolution of the contemporary city. I live between Milan, London and Berlin, cities that have been able to combine the intensity of metropolitan life with the environmental values of parks and gardens. These are the values that I bring into the internal spaces as well, which I design for the places of work and living.
