For the ninth episode of the new season of Italian Village – The Podcast, we are excited to host Pier Alessio Rizzardi, architect and founder of TCA Think Tank Design & Build, a creative hub operating between Italy and Asia.
With his deep knowledge of Asian urban dynamics and refined Italian design sensibility, Pier Alessio offers a unique perspective on how architecture can become a tool for cultural dialogue, innovation, and sustainability.
🎧 In this episode, Pier Alessio takes us through his experience designing award-winning residential projects in Singapore such as Yeo Terrace, Lee Terrace, and Goh Terrace. We discuss how architectural language changes across contexts, how Asian and European identities merge in contemporary projects, and how his architectural philosophy is rooted in both research and real-world experimentation.
From his academic path at Tsinghua University in Beijing to curating exhibitions and building homes that breathe with nature, Pier Alessio Rizzardi shares insights on navigating different design cultures, adapting to evolving urban landscapes, and shaping the cities of tomorrow.
📐 Don’t miss this captivating dialogue that bridges continents and disciplines, offering inspiration for architects, creatives, and anyone fascinated by the built environment and cultural identity.
