OFFECCT Prize Nominee Valentina Soana; Project: Ornamental Hypertrophy. Atelier

“The thesis is exploring the potential of the ornament conceived as inhabitable space, exuberant, blissful in opulence, flamboyant. The coexistence of opposite elements generates sensations that are overlapping, intertwining and blurring, generating a space that breathes, perspires and froths, in full bloom.”

Valentina Soana has studied architecture at the University of Rome “Sapienza” (2005-2008), at the Universidad Alfonso X el Sabio, Madrid (2008-2009) and the Architectural Master Program at KTH Royal Institute of Technology (2009-2011). She has also been an intern at EMERGENT Architects in Los Angeles.
