Patricia Viel, architect and co-founder of ACPV ARCHITECTS, graduated in Architecture from Politecnico di Milano in 1987. Of French origin, born and raised in Italy, she started collaborating with Antonio Citterio in 1986. In 2000, they co-founded the architecture and interior design practice “Antonio Citterio and Partners”.

Today, the studio is known as “ACPV ARCHITECTS Antonio Citterio Patricia Viel”, an international practice that Patricia leads both strategically and creatively. Her focus is fostering a multidisciplinary, data-driven architectural approach that generates cultural, social, and environmental values through context-aware design solutions, aimed at improving the quality and livability of spaces.

❝Our European approach to shaping the future of the built environment drives us to study urban density, land use patterns, our relationship with nature, and the integration of functions and services. We focus on envisioning how people will live, work, learn, travel, connect, and enjoy leisure in the future.❞ — Patricia Viel on "Curiosity"
