Mara Servetto, a three-time Compasso d’Oro Award winner, is Visiting Professor at Joshibi University in Tokyo. A former pupil of Achille Castiglioni, in 1997 she founded the studio Migliore+Servetto Architects with Ico Migliore. Ranging from interior architecture to retail, museums to exhibition, urban design to visual identity and multimedia, their works are characterized by a constant research into the relationship between spatial design and identity, also by means of expressive use of light and new technologies, with a view to a new form of cultural sustainability. Recent projects include: the permanent exhibition of the historic Compasso d’Oro ADI Collection within the new ADI Design Museum in Milan, and the Blue Line Park, involving the transformation of 5km area of abandoned railway into a narrative linear park. This urban renewal project received the “City_Brand&Tourism Landscape Award 2021”.
