From a “clementine” to large buildings.

Giuliano Azzinari is an entrepreneur, grown in a family of entrepreneurs. He is an architect and a manager who learned his trade by observing and experiencing the world. His studies and curiosity led him from Calabria (southern Italy) to Milan, and from Italy to the United States. Global Planning Architecture is the synthesis of his career path: an international vision, Anglo-Saxon management skills and American planning with an Italian flavour. A taste like that one of the Clementines that his family still grows, combining the human touch of the farmers with the business skills of someone who exports worldwide. Global Planning Architecture is his company, born in a small office, organized from the beginning like the great Anglo-Saxon teams. Taking one step at a time, with an eye on the future, enabled Global Planning Architecture, client by client, to become one of the most respected Italian design firms.
