LADO architetti carries out heterogeneous design activity, ranging from landscaping to the finest architectural detail. A careful reading of the context within which architecture can confront and dialogue is the essential constant in its design process. As such, design finally emerges as a synthesis, seeking to solve functional, economic and formal needs through the use of a few essential gestures.
LADO architetti covers the full project, from idea to construction, relying on the skills of professional partners for structural, technical and engineering aspects, and focusing on sustainability through the optimization of economic and energy resources.
Founder Luca Ladinetti graduated in Architecture at the University of Ferrara in 2007. Since 2006, he has collaborated with the Landscape Agency and the Landscape Research Laboratory of the Department of Architecture of the University of Ferrara. From 2008 to 2010, he collaborated with Federico Scagliarini and Cristina Tartari’s Tasca Studio. In 2010, he began his freelance career and became co-founder of the MMVL collective (of which he is still a partner) with Mario Assisi and Valentina Milani (INOUTarchitettura – Ferrara), and Mario Lamber (LAMBER + LAMBER – San Giovanni in Persiceto, BO). In 2012, MMVL was selected by New Italian Blood among the “Top 10” best young studios in Italy. In 2013, Luca founded LADO architetti in Bologna. Since 2019, he has held the position of councilor for urban planning and private building in the Municipality of Loiano (Bologna).
