An internationally recognised professional, he contributed to some of the most influential architectural projects of recent decades, bringing into the classroom the strength of a truly global practice. Among his most notable projects are Bosco Verticale in Milan, developed with Boeri Studio, the Siemens Headquarters in Milan, and Villa Méditerranée in Marseille, all reflecting his commitment to innovative and sustainable design.
Beyond his achievements, Gianandrea was a constant source of inspiration for both students and colleagues: always open, visionary, and deeply proactive. He fostered a collaborative environment and encouraged new ways of thinking, leaving a lasting impact on the entire academic community.
His legacy lives on in the ideas he shared, the projects he developed, and the many lives he touched with his energy and generosity.
