Giuliana Campioni and Guido Ferrara are architects with well-established success as designers of urban public spaces, urbanistic and architectural recovery, and territorial planning. For nearly thirty years they have concentrated their professionalism in a specialised manner on the design, management and planning of open spaces on all scales, from private gardens to national parks, with particular focus on the legal framework of the areas to be subjected to conservation and/or special precautions within protected areas and in routine town planning. The FERRARA ASSOCIATI Studio has consolidated experience in the use of numeric cartography and graphic programmes applied to the environment and the landscape, with current use of the ArcGis (ArcInfo) software. It works continuously in the public and private sectors with special focus on the areas briefly listed below:
conservation, restoration and enhancement of archaeological sites, historical buildings and complexes with environmental prestige;
environmental recovery and the installation in the landscape of architectural and technological artefacts with great impact;
urban décor, piazzas, public spaces and areas of collective interest;
urban parks with pertinent facilities and services, public and private gardens, swimming pools and water playgrounds, wellbeing areas;
environmental impact and strategic assessment studies, also in environmental or historical-cultural conditions of special value and subject to the constraints of the protection laws.
