Paolo Pasquini
Paolo Pasquini was born in Pisa in 1968, graduated in Florence in 1995 and, after a first working period in Pisa ( exhibition design for the Historic Gallery at the Natural History Museum of the Certosa di Pisa), he gains experience in Milan thanks to the collaboration with architect Italo Rota (Audiovisual Library of S. Sisto in Perugia, design and planning contest for the Nuovo Museo del Novecento in Milan), and with Aukett+Garretti, the new Italian office of Aukett Europe (Bodio Center business park in Milan, ideas contest for the New Exhibition Grounds in Milan).
Precious fruits are yielded by the aggregate of the two different professional attitudes: the stubborn search of a significant project for the life of each man and of the community; the professionalism as a moral choice at the service of the client,.
In 2002 Enel Green Power employ Paolo Pasquini for some experimental projects to integrate photovoltaic elements in architecture; the most interesting, although never built, is a greenhouse with a decorative-educational aim, the Butterfly Conservatory, at Diga di Alento – Salerno.
From 2004 he starts a steady collaboration with Europa Risorse that gives him the opportunity to experiment the very first steps of creative autonomy and see them being built.
