Nicola Villa

NICOLA VILLA
Born in Lecco 19/12/1976; lives in Genoa
I am an architect. However, I don't project cities, houses, or objects. My media are painting, photography, and video; my work focuses on the people and the spaces where they live through a language that is between narrative and documentary, and an approach between scientific and sensorial.

Education:
2004 Politecnico di Milano: Laurea in Architettura. Thesis: Piano urbanistico ed architettonico della Fortezza del Priamar Relator: Marco Albini.
