The Studio works in the fields of architecture, design and interior design. The activities range from large scale planning for the development of tourist terminals to designing interiors, generating specific products for public areas. It carries out proje

cts for hotels, tourist villages, congress centres, meeting halls, exhibition galleries, theme exhibitions and urban sceneries. Assiduous research into receptive structures, formal and functional characteristics of spaces, technology and materials, develo

ped with care for the environment, represent the basic elements of the Studio's planning and design philosophy.
Considering the continuity between architecture and interior design as a strategic component for the development of a project, the stu

dio acquires the direction and control of the architecture and interior design of the work. The methodical and cultural drafting stage of a project and precise production systems give birth to innovative conceptual factors. They are also necessary to crea

te new approaches in resolving complex structures. The studio offers knowledge of new materials and technologies to the most perceptive operators. It shares know-how in management and control systems, distribution and design concepts of functional element

s and furnishings with its clients. It searches for the most appropriate solutions with special attention to production processes and current regulations. Moreover, the main objective of the research revolves, above all, round the permanent attention to t

raveller's needs, behaviour and uses, which are translated in new spatial conceptions inside fascinating environments.
Marco Piva, graduated at the Polytechnic of Milan, founded the Studiodada Associati, one of the best known design offices of t

he Radical period.
Since 1976 he has been working in Italy and abroad on architectural, interior and industrial design projects, earning commendations and awards at the Milan Triennale, the Design Center of Colonia, and the Interior Award of Kortrij
