Aaltissimo Alvar

Alvar Aaltissimo is a 21st century architectural designer, who examines the marriage between architectural design, satire, current affairs and advertising. Examples of his projects responding to topical issues are those in the framework of the Covid-19 pandemic, such as the “Supermercato per una sola persona”, “Progetto per il salvataggio dell’Estate Italiana 2020”, “La casa balcone” and “La città di Vaccinia”. Alvar Aaltissimo's themes are transversal to architecture and set out to counter the volatility of "disposable" social content, by presenting structured projects that bring together visual references from both popular culture and architecture. Other past projects include “Il Museo del Memecento”, “La biblioteca delle statue” and the “Museo del Traffico – GRAMo” in Rome. Alvar Aaltissimo's projects have been published and featured in several national and international architecture magazines and websites, such as Il Foglio, Domus web, Elle Decor Italia, Vanity Fair, AIT Magazine, Koo/ZArch, Fanpage.it
