Carlo Ponzini

Architetto, già docente presso:

·        il Politecnico di Milano (Facoltà di Architettura Civile),

·        l’Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore,

·        l’Istituto Europeo di Design (IED),

Coordina e guida PONZINIGROUP che comprende: ---

-         l’azienda centenaria di famiglia la “Carlo Ponzini Srl”, ditta che progetta, disegna ristruttura e vende arredi e servizi legati all’interior design,

-         lo studio C & P sas, che si occupa invece di grafica e design,

-         lo studio di architettura Carlo Ponzini,

-         la C&P costruzioni che è specializzata in costruzioni ecosostenibili

-         Home Gallery associazione culturale che fa attività di ricerca sostenibile e promuove la cultura del territorio locale e sostiene iniziative benefiche.

 

Lo studio di architettura, fin dalla fondazione negli anni 80, è impegnato nella continua ricerca di soluzioni rivolte all'uomo e alle sue tradizioni culturali:

un'architettura radicata e legata all'ambiente circostante in cui il paesaggio da sempre guida il pensiero progettuale.
 

L'obiettivo primario è sempre stato quello di riuscire a coniugare le dimensioni sperimentali e innovative con una multidisciplinarietà professionale in grado di gestire la progettazione su ogni scala.

Lo studio ha progettato e costruito negli anni vari tipi di edifici pubblici e privati ​​con destinazione residenziale o commerciale, oltre ad aver progettato anche spazi pubblici e soluzioni per la riqualificazione delle aree rurali, industriali e storiche; negli anni ha partecipato a numerosi concorsi sia individualmente che in team con altri importanti studi.
 

Un altro campo di ricerca svolto dal nostro team di progettazione, è quello dell’ideazione e realizzazione di interni e di allestimenti commerciali, di musei e spazi teatrali (attraverso la Carlo Ponzini srl), spingendosi fino allo studio dell'immagine grafica indirizzata alla ricerca del rapporto tra architettura e comunicazione (tramite la C&P sas)…il tutto per creare un immagine coordinata, semplice ma diretta a suscitare emozioni. Questo metodo di lavoro a sistema permette delle importanti economie di scala con conseguenti ottimizzazione sia dei progetti che dei relativi costi.

 

Carlo Ponzini è iscritto all’Ordine degli Architetti di Piacenza, l'immatricolazione n.130.

E’ stato professore a contratto del Politecnico di Milano per il Dipartimento BEST

(Building Environment Science and Technology) dal 1995, ed è stato anche il fondatore e coordinatore del Master in Architettura del paesaggio agrario, in collaborazione con l'Università Cattolica di Agraria di Piacenza; ha inoltre collaborato con l’Università di Londra. Attualmente insegna “Nanotecnologie e sistemi evoluti per l'architettura”, corso di  laurea magistrale in architettura presso l’Università di Parma.
