FORMA
FORMA is a studio rooted in the belief that architecture shapes how we feel, think, and live. We design spaces that endure.
The Studio
Architecture is an act of profound responsibility.
Elena Marchetti founded FORMA in 2008 after a decade working with Tadao Ando in Osaka and Herzog & de Meuron in Basel. Her practice is defined by an obsessive attention to material truth — the idea that a building's honesty is felt before it is seen.
We believe buildings are not objects but relationships — between people and place, between now and memory, between the constructed and the natural. Every commission is an invitation to make something that outlasts the moment of its making.
