Architect and landscape designer Angelo Renna set up his studio in Prato, Italy, in 2011, although he maintains a global presence, with projects in Mexico and the Ivory Coast and success in competitions like Europan in Norway have raised his profile. ‘The office focuses on developing projects with a relationship to natural elements such as water collection, vegetation and animals,’ says Renna. His projects are planned out in beautifully detailed drawings with a strong sense of colour and a deep understanding of landscape and nature. ‘We’re very inspired by art,’ Renna says, ‘painters like Rousseau inﬂuence in the way we develop our collages.’
