Giulia Robba
Associate
Giulia joined Farrells in 2017 after completing the “International Architectural Regeneration and Development” Master Course (MA IARD) at the School of Architecture of the Oxford Brookes University (UK).
Since joining Farrells, she has been interested in understanding the principles which shape better places, and ways to develop strategies that respect the existing but also imagine a credible future for the place. As an architect, she works closely with the Urban Design team and has the opportunity to zoom in and focus on understanding how a building itself could change the perception of a space to create a ‘place’. Driven by the awareness that the disciplines of urban design and architecture should relate to each other, she plays a proactive role in linking the two opposing scales of projects – from urban to building, from city to living room.
She is a wanderlust traveller and believes that every place gives unique opportunities to explore new settings, discover new cultures and food.
