Martino Picchedda (Cagliari, November 6, 1983) Italian architect and engineer from the University of Cagliari in Building Engineering-Architecture (2007). Immediately after graduation, he embarked on a career marked by meaningful experiences and significant projects. Following a formative period at Giovanni Vaccarini Architetto studio in Giulianova (2008–2009), Picchedda founded his own practice, Martino Picchedda Architettura Ingegneria, in 2011 in Turri, a small town in the Marmilla region of Sardinia.
Deeply connected to Sardinian traditions, Picchedda incorporates the island's cultural values and materials into his work, reinterpreting them through a contemporary lens that harmonizes with historical and natural contexts. Specializing in public works, architectural recovery, and building restoration, his projects are characterized by a philosophy that combines creativity, functionality, and sustainability. From conservative restoration to urban regeneration, his interventions aim to preserve and enhance local identities while celebrating the memory and essence of places.
Some of his most notable projects are: House of Traditions in Simala, Expansion of the Cemetery in Pauli Arbarei, Revitalization of Historic Roads in Nurachi.
