Stefano Boeri Architetti

Stefano Boeri Architetti, based in Milan with offices in Shanghai and Tirana, has been dedicated to research and practice in architecture and urban planning since 1993. With constant attention to the geopolitical and environmental implications of urban phenomena, the studio develops architectural and regeneration projects in complex environments and on different continents, promoting and strengthening synergies between the various public and private actors involved in development. This integrated and multidisciplinary approach has allowed Stefano Boeri Architetti to acquire a strongly defined identity and become a point of reference for sustainable architecture, social housing, and strategic urban development at different scales, both in Italy and internationally.

AlberItalia

AlberItalia is a private, non-profit, and autonomous organisation, recognised as a “third sector” foundation according to Italian norms on non-profit organisations, i.e. an NGO oriented to promote and support services and actions through direct financing opportunities, external donors coordination, and crowdfunding initiatives. The idea for AlberItalia started in 2019, when a group of university professors, researchers, technicians, and representatives of civil society met and discussed the best strategies to mitigate human-induced climate change using nature-based solutions. SISEF (Italian Society of Silviculture and Forest Ecology) coordinated stakeholders from public, private, and civil society sectors upon the official constitution of the AlberItalia Foundation in Spring 2021. During the constitution process, AlberItalia had the support of over 600 public and private institutions, associations, enterprises, committees, and individual citizens from all over Italy.
