Leonardo Gianicolo Email & Phone Number

Based in Rome, Italy, I graduated with honors in Building Engineering - Architecture from the University of Rome "La Sapienza" and obtained my license to practice as an engineer. During my studies, I completed an internship at Studio di Architettura e Ingegneria Scaletti, where I focused on architectural design for existing buildings and energy modeling. Subsequently, I attended a postgraduate short master’s program in Wood Architecture at Yacademy, specializing in timber as a primary material known for both its structural and aesthetic qualities, as well as its high sustainability potential.I am particularly interested in a design approach where the aesthetic aspect cannot be separated from the structural and engineering components, a central theme in my thesis in Architectural and Urban Design, with a focus on Structural and Earthquake Engineering, titled "Tuscolano Cultural Center."My work emphasizes typological and compositional experimentation, exploring new structural solutions that simultaneously serve as architectural elements. The design projects I have worked on cover various scales, from urban-scale interventions to the design of new public and private buildings, as well as interventions on existing heritage. Additionally, these projects were carried out within a BIM environment.
