About Park Associati
Park is an interdisciplinary collective of architects, designers, and researchers based in Milan. Together, we embrace the great challenges of our times, shaping the future of the built environment

Working at the intersection of tradition and innovation, of rigour and audacity, we immerse ourselves in the depth of each opportunity we design for. We integrate diverse perspectives of analysis and implementation to uncover the identity of each context and unlock its unique potential for transformation. Through our projects, research, and contribution to public discourse, we shape new experiences, innovations, and perspectives. Our work strives to enrich lives and cultivate a renewed connection between people, place, and planet. Together, we reveal new futures deeply rooted and full of possibility.

His activity revolves around the complex landscape of architectural innovation, identifying and capitalizing on emerging trends and opportunities for pioneering projects. His extensive work has enriched the firm’s portfolio with expertise in topics that stand at the forefront of architectural innovation, such as urban mining, dry-gardens landscaping, biophilic design, adaptive reuse, and the implementation of unconventional materials. Matteo also champions the integration of computational design, design technology, and Artificial Intelligence into practice, enhancing both creativity and efficiency. Beyond research, he is deeply involved in knowledge dissemination, education, and inspiration through international.
