SET architects. is a young architecture, urbanism and design practice based in Rome, led by Lorenzo Catena, Onorato di Manno and Andrea Tanci. The design procedure is always supported by in-depth theoretical research based on the investigation of the essence of architecture and the elements that compose it. SET envisions an architecture that is able to communicate directly with those who live it. This is achieved by using elementary geometric shapes and paying attention to environmental sustainability through the experimental use of materials and technologies.
The studio believes in non-generic architecture capable of emerging as a cultural factor in the local context and preserving the uniqueness of places. Simplicity and clarity are key themes of the entire creative process, from the abstract idea to the design solution. SET has won many awards including: “Dedalo Minosse - Laboratorio Morseletto 2017”, “Lazio Creativo 2017”, “NIB New Italian Blood 2016 top 10 Architecture”. The work of the office and its partners has been featured in several venues and events (Spazio FMG - Milan, MAXXI - Rome, Wuho Gallery - Los Angeles) as well as in international publications.
