Paolo Didonè

Paolo Didonè was born in Bassano del Grappa in 1983. In 2007 he graduated in Architettura per la Città at IUAV (Venice) and began a collaboration with Sergio Pascolo Architects. In 2009 he started his own office in Rosà, in the province of Vicenza, and in 2013 he founded Didonè Comacchio Architects with the architect Devvy Comacchio. In 2013 Paolo Didonè was selected for the "Premio Federico Maggia" for which he created the "Be Water" installation. In 2014 he was selected in the international competition "Call for Architects Under 30" by Casabella magazine. Didoné Comacchio Architects works in different scales of architectural practice with a provision for material and sensory experimentation, applying a design philosophy whereby the potential of the context is considered the origin of the research process. The incipit of design processing is reading and reinterpretation, in which the result is an artifact, a concept that completes the basic initial condition, making the project staged the reality in which it is inserted. The interventions are declared through the use of a few but clear architectural gestures that become an amplification of the project choices. The firm was founded by Paolo Didonè and Devvy Comacchio, both graduated from the IUAV (Venice, Italy) in 2007.
