Antonio Citterio |
Antonio Citterio is an Italian architect and
designer. From 1972 to 1981, after graduating from the Milan Polytechnic,
Citterio worked primarily in the field of industrial design in collaboration with
Paolo Nava. At the same time, he also pursued his own work in both architecture
and interior design. Between 1986 and 1996, he worked alongside his
wife, architect Terry Dwan, designing buildings in Europe and Japan. In 1987
and 1994, Antonio Citterio received the Compasso d’Oro-ADI award. In 2000, he
founded “Antonio Citterio and Partners”, an architecture and interior design
practice, actively developing projects across the globe and embracing all
scales of intervention to develop complex design projects in synergy with a
qualified network of consultancy specialists. In 2010, the practice changed its
name to “Antonio Citterio Patricia Viel and Partners”. Today the practice is
known as “ACPV Architects Antonio Cittterio Patricia Viel” and is led by Citterio,
