Who is your biggest personal influence?

Giancarlo De Carlo – I had the opportunity to work with him in two of his ILAUD summer schools in Venice and his enthusiasm, talent and design communication was exhilarating. His lectures always left students and collaborators electrified and his commitment to design the best places for all people was nothing short of addictive.
