Luciano completed his Master of Architecture in Architecture and Urbanism from the University of Florence. Between 2004 and 2007, he was a tutor in Visual Design at the Industrial Design University of Florence. He is passionate about mentoring younger architects, engaging with students, and fostering creativity in the next generation.
Having grown up in southern Italy’s natural beauty and later living in Florence and Rome, Luciano’s appreciation for visual and environmental harmony inspires his respect for sustainability. In his current project, he experiments with hydrogen energy to create meaningful contributions to addressing climate change.

Hospitality
The world’s first free-form high-rise exoskeleton optimises the interiors by creating spaces that are uninterrupted by supporting walls or columns. Three horizontal vortices generate the voids through the building and define the hotel’s dramatic internal public spaces.

A multi-modal transport hub for the city’s commuters as well as international rail passengers and air travellers using the adjacent Tallinn Airport, the Ülemiste Passenger Terminal is designed as a connecting bridge linking together districts of Tallinn currently separated by the railway tracks that dissect the city.

Culture
Located on a narrow strait, separating continental Italy from Sicily, the Regium Waterfront marks the city of Reggio Calabria as a Mediterranean cultural capital. Drawing inspiration from the radial symmetry of the starfish, the structure, housing museum and performing arts centre, stands as a beacon visible from land and sea.
