I am Annalisa d'Apice, an Italian-Swiss architect and curator born in Pompei on 30 October 1986, currently based in Mendrisio. I founded AdA – Annalisa d'Apice Architetto in 2022 to combine architectural design with the renovation and transformation of existing buildings, connecting context with the needs of contemporary living. Since 2017 I have been developing a path in contemporary art curation, supporting emerging artists and overseeing the production of catalogues from textual and graphic perspectives. For me, architecture and art are not separate fields: through a dialogue between technical rigor and humanistic sensitivity I aim to create spaces that welcome both the body and the gaze.
