Business Of Architecture Uk Podcast

Hello and welcome to the Business of Architecture. This week I have the great pleasure of sitting down with Mario Cucinella at his new exhibition at the Architectural Association: The Future is a Journey to the Past - Stories about Sustainability which opened on the 21st of September. Mario is an Honorary AIA Fellow and was also awarded an International Fellowship by the RIBA. He started his firm, Mario Cucinella Architects (MCA), in Paris in 1992 later expanding it into Bologna in 1999, following architectural studies at the University of Genoa and working at Renzo Piano Building Workshop. His main mission is to design and create his masterpieces in a way that not only reduces environmental impact but also conserves energy. The practice is very interesting on Net Zero and the studio is known for having designed the first 3D printed house made of raw earth. They also run a School of Sustainability (SOS) collaborating with the Architectural Association. He started his firm, Mario Cucinella Architects (MCA), in
