The new video of the revised square design offers a clear, up-to-date look at the site under construction, highlighting widened pedestrian paths, expanded green spaces, and a simplified circulation layout intended to improve accessibility and safety. It showcases updated materials and street furniture, and strategically placed lighting and drainage improvements to enhance usability year-round. Overall, the video provides stakeholders and residents with a concise visual update on how the revised design will transform the square into a more functional, welcoming public space.
Strata Campus- Durres - Albania
Settled international competition for the UAMD Durrës campus, Albania.
Masterplan
STRATA masterplan is conceived as a three-dimensional living landscape where water, vegetation, soft mobility, and architecture operate as a unified ecological system. Developed in collaboration with landscape architects, urban thinkers, local designers, and in partnership with the artists PichiAvo, the campus emerges as a climate-responsive territory rather than a conventional collection of buildings.
At the territorial scale, the project integrates the existing canal network, the future railway line, and the new train station as structuring frameworks. Water is conceived as active climate infrastructure: wetlands expand in winter to absorb and regulate rainfall, preventing flooding, and contract in drier seasons while cooling public space and shaping microclimates. Vegetation forms a continuous canopy and a seasonal mosaic of chromatic “pixels,” reinforcing biodiversity and defining outdoor learning and social environments. Buildings evolve from closed volumes into inhabited platforms, lightly embedded within this ecological matrix.
Their arrangement generates shaded courtyards, open-air classrooms, and a sequence of public spaces connected by bridges, wooden decks, and gently sloped promenades. Mobility is treated as landscape: pedestrian and cycling networks flow seamlessly through water, terrain, and architecture, dissolving rigid hierarchies in favor of an integrated, human-centered system.
Cultural activation is embedded within this framework. PichiAvo’s reinterpretations of classical divinities—symbols of knowledge, wisdom, justice, and coexistence—act as contemporary landmarks, reinforcing the campus as a cultural bridge between heritage and present expression.
Vehicular access is limited to the perimeter and underground parking, ensuring a fully pedestrian and bike-oriented core. The cycling network extends into the buildings themselves, with parking integrated under canopies and within the architecture, including dormitories equipped with large elevators to accommodate bicycles.
Open-air gathering areas, outdoor study zones, riparian gardens, and shaded platforms form a continuous spatial network where learning, leisure, and movement converge. The masterplan ultimately proposes a new academic landscape: a climate-adaptive, culturally layered, soft-mobility ecosystem in which architecture becomes the gentle residue of a resilient blue–green infrastructure.

NEW WATERCITYFRONT PESARO
Nábito proposal for the international competition, settled
The WaterCityFront Ponente project is an urban regeneration proposal that reconnects the city with its most powerful horizon: the sea. Through a unified, modular and progressive design, it transforms Viale Trieste into a continuous, accessible and lively urban and landscape system year-round. It is a project that does not merely address a waterfront: it reinvents it as an experiential sequence, where public space, nature and infrastructure merge into a new shared landscape. #landsccape #architecture #waterfront
CYCLE OF LIFE GARDEN VIDEO
Finally our video of Torlonia garden in Rome
Filmed last spring in the heart of Rome, Torlonia Garden is a quiet landscape designed for a senior residence, where nature becomes a companion in the final chapter of life.
A garden conceived as a reflection on the cycle of life.
Winding paths, flowering tunnels and seasonal vegetation guide a slow journey through memory, community and renewal.
Spaces for play, shared meals and cultivation coexist with intimate corners for silence and contemplation.
Vegetable gardens, fruit trees and aromatic plants invite care, learning and simple daily rituals.
Built with natural materials and designed to evolve over time, the garden embraces impermanence — changing with the seasons, just like life itself.
A place to pause. A place to reflect. A place where every season matters.
NEW NICOTERA WATERFRONT, international competition settled
The new waterfront of Nicotera is imagined as a soft seam between city and sea. A place where barriers disappear, movement slows, and the shoreline becomes a shared civic landscape. What was once a road is transformed into a calm promenade, open, continuous, and welcoming.
Wooden walkways and flowing ground patterns echo the rhythm of waves and boats at rest, giving the waterfront a clear identity rooted in the maritime imagination. The project unfolds as a green corridor for walking, cycling, meeting, and pausing—where nature, light, and space guide the experience rather than objects or signs.
Access to the sea becomes natural and intuitive, evenly distributed along the coast, while shaded areas, seating, and small public spaces invite everyday life to settle by the water. Native vegetation shapes comfort, protects the shoreline, and restores the dialogue between land and sea.
Structured by a sequence of key places—arrival, work, gathering, contemplation, and play—the waterfront becomes both active and reflective, capable of hosting events or quiet moments at sunset.
The result is not a monument, but a living landscape: resilient, inclusive, and deeply connected to the identity of Nicotera—where the city gently meets the horizon.
BLU BECK featured with GUAXS
We’re proud to have collaborated with GUAXS—the renowned brand known for its handcrafted vases and objects—and to be featured by them for our restaurant BLU BECK for the chef HEINZ BECK on the Costa Smeralda, Sardinia.
Their sculptural pieces, defined by organic forms and refined textures, became an essential part of the atmosphere, adding warmth, character, and a tactile sense of luxury to the space.
A collaboration where design, craftsmanship, and Mediterranean light come together.

We hope the strength of our community, the care of friends, and the help of those who can support you bring comfort and quick recovery.
La casa dei carabinieri competition, Siracusa, Italy, settled
When a jury is not properly qualified, a city may forfeit an important opportunity to develop in contemporary ways and to preserve public confidence in its institutions.
A place of trust, community, and landscape
The project interprets the Barracks as a shared “home,” an open and recognizable place where the institution approaches the city through listening and presence. Set within a large urban park, the House of the Carabinieri transcends the image of a closed military complex to become a green, connected, welcoming, and symbolic public space. A safe yet permeable refuge, it is able to protect while also embracing, where architecture, nature, and community intertwine to generate trust, belonging, and closeness between citizens and institutions.

Season’s greetings
As the year comes to a close, we’re reflecting on the heartbeat of our latest project, Maria Carta Square. A vibrant hub where community meets beauty, sustainability, and joy. With its dynamic vapor sculpture and magical water mirror, this square is more than a space – it’s a symbol of shared identity and future.
We’re grateful for the opportunity to bring people together through design and can’t wait to see what the new year brings. Stay tuned for more exciting projects on the horizon!

B&A at Marmomac Verona 2025
Designed for ICONCI
The assignment to design the entire stand at marmomac 2025 is in line with the brand's intention to renew its image through the launch of two new product collections under the creative direction of b&a. behind the main scenography, the stand is articulated through a sequence of monolithic boxes, each showcasing a different travertine treatment on the exterior and a distinct typology on the interior. these volumes act as silent stages where the pieces of the collections emerge as sculptures, allowing visitors to read the material, its finishes, and its expressive potential through a curated spatial rhythm. the stand was awarded the marmomac–forbes best communicator award for its concept—simple yet highly elegant—recognized for the coherence of its material language and its remarkable ability to capture and hold the visitor’s attention through the expressive power of marble.
The stand presents a new entire telluric collection of bath and wellness sculptural essential elements melting with the floor and exalting the Travertine character. The Splash collection (with bathtub, sink, shower and accessories) blends with the ground and the surface, creating a sensation of lightness and fluidity in contrast with the hardness of the stone, resulting in sculptural effect and playing with light and reflection.
A fluid landscape of stone.
As does the Combi collection which proposes the same concept but varying the materials in a play of different combinations.
Ultimately, the design seeks to highlight the essence of the work of I Conci:Travertine, tradition, innovation, stonework, attention to detail and variety of combinations.
Nábito architects new project on going
Piazza Maria Carta,PdP, Cagliari Italy
A new beating heart for the community
Maria Carta Square is conceived as a place of encounter, reflection, and play.
At its centre rises a great sculpture of vapor, a dynamic and interactive installation that changes shape over time — much like the life of the community that surrounds it. Water, a primordial element, gathers on the ground creating a magical mirror, where each person can see themselves reflected: a symbol of shared identity, memory, and future.
This square is a social and playful platform, where everyday life meets beauty: spaces to pause and meet, restaurants and cafés overlooking the promenade, green lawns with benches, shaded areas, and playgrounds for children. Every element contributes to an environment that is welcoming, inclusive, and full of life.
The design celebrates sustainability and respect for natural materials, through a careful selection of textures and finishes that dialogue with light and the surrounding landscape.
The landscape design is based on the use of native plant species — trees and shrubs typical of the region, chosen for their resilience and their ability to express the authentic spirit of the place. Their seasonal blooms and shifting colors turn the square into a living organism, in harmony with the natural rhythm of time.
Maria Carta Square is a tribute to the community: a space that breathes with it, welcomes it, and reflects it.
A place to meet, to recognize oneself, and to celebrate life together in the present moment.

Manuel Gausa Navarro #DEP #RIP
It took us a few days to realise the weight of your passing.
We will all regret the loss of an international preeminent and vast intellectual figure in the contemporary architecture and urbanism panorama.
Personally, I am loosing a big brother and an intimate friend with whom I could speak openly about anything.
Moreover, we are loosing an extraordinary
human being.
Manuel,
you were a gentleman, a generous soul and a visionary with an extremely optimistic and open-minded attitude.
You were one of a kind, capable of loving people for who they are free from prejudice; a person you always knew you could call if something went wrong, and even if you didn’t, you could smile reassured, knowing that there would always be this cavalier fighting battles to defend your principles.
To me, you were immortal.
We are sure that your legacy will guide forever and illuminate the path for many younger generations, passionate about art and architecture. I could never thank you enough for your efforts. You were always willing to help and had a kind word for everyone, even when you were overloaded with work and stress.
In this troubled contemporary world, which is increasingly being governed by egoists, sociopaths and megalomaniacs, there is an urgent need for figures like you!
With you, Manuel, a masterpiece of tempered and optimistic spirit is passing away: a conciliator and someone who has always truly and deeply respected diversities.
Hasta siempre, compañero de mil aventuras!
Bebo

NáBITO architects NOIDA, Uttar Pradesh, India
Urban Forest – Mixed-Use Development in Noida, India
Located in the rapidly growing city of Noida, this visionary urban development reimagines the relationship between architecture, nature, and community. The project comprises a series of mixed-use buildings that rise like vertical forests, with stepped terraces hosting lush gardens and green canopies at every level. Designed as a city within a city, the complex integrates residential dwellings, public spaces, work hubs, and leisure facilities into a cohesive and sustainable environment.
NáBITO architects the Ziggurat, Dubai
Our proposal for a mixed uses Building on the Al Marmoon Oasis, Dubai
Al Marmoon Oasis Pyramid — Dubai’s Living Mirage
Rising from the tawny sands like an ancient mirage reborn, the Al Marmoon Oasis Pyramid re‑imagines the timeless desert ziggurat as a twenty‑first‑century city‑within‑a‑building. Its stepped silhouette, draped in lush vegetation, evolves from the region’s vernacular—oasis farming terraces, wind‑catching towers, and the shimmering geometry of Bedouin textiles—yet it speaks the language of advanced eco‑technology and flexible urban life.
Vision
Al Marmoon Oasis Pyramid is not merely a landmark; it is a manifesto for desert urbanism. By fusing indigenous wisdom with regenerative design, it proves that a building can be at once refuge, workplace, playground, and farm—thriving in harmony with one of the planet’s most demanding climates. In the heart of Dubai’s protected reserve, the pyramid stands as a living promise: the future city can grow green, even in the driest sands.
NáBITO architects Zig Zag Tower
Fr, Italy- The main client requirement is to develop a mixed-use office building with commercial space in the basement, maintaining two different fronts that open onto two sides of the city. The building should open onto public green areas and be connected to urban traffic areas to maintain permeability.
Therefore, a zigzag shape is essential to achieve this goal. We prefer to keep a taller tower to free up space on the ground and try to orient the building correctly according to the position of the sun. The colours of the façade reflect the changing daylight throughout the year.
