Leonardo Grogg
Leonardo Gabriel Grogg (1994), Swiss-Brazilian-Italian
Intrigued by the political, socioeconomic, and ecological processes shaping the world and architecture. I strive to experiment with and reinterpret spaces, crafting practical and innovative solutions. I fully commit to each project, leveraging the skills gained through my professional and academic journey.
I value building multidisciplinary professional networks, fostering cultural, technical, and artistic exchange. I believe this collaboration enhances our ability to tackle complex challenges and delivers projects that truly make a difference in the communities I serve.
