Antonio Perazzi is a Milan-based landscape designer whose early-career work was founded in the conceptualist landscape movement – gardens based on ideas and narrative content which deployed wit, colour and unconventional materials. His practice has developed from these beginnings and now incorporates conceptualist elements with ecological landscape design and the practicalities of place making for specific situations and user groups. But there is always, still, a strong element of originality and wit embedded in his work.
Antonio has been engaged on projects at every scale and for many types of clients, from private individuals to multinational corporations and governments. One of his most prestigious recent commissions was the landscape surrounding a new Fendi factory in the Tuscan countryside, on the site of a former quarry and brickworks. This includes courtyards, formal gardens near the building and a large green roof, all enveloped by an ecological park which responds to the surroundings. Antonio will describe this and other projects as he invites us in to his world of imagination, design and ecology.
