"Beyond the profession, social responsability as a matter of identity. Where human beings come first"
FARE is an architectural practice created in Rome in 2006 by Riccardo Vannucci and Giuseppina Forte, complemented by a team of young professionals.
Given our current condition as an outsider, FARE intentionally presents itself as an anomalous, and perhaps unexpected reality within the Italian panorama and the rituals that characterise it, including the widespread rhetoric of sustainability, eco-compatibility and bio-climatic architecture.
In an era when design appears to oscillate dangerously between the virtualisation of products and the narcissism of protagonists, FARE pursues a more concrete and material approach to architecture, an inherent objective rendered explicit in the name of the office.
The confrontation with reality sought by FARE is not, however, the sign of an adhesion to a [presumed] neutrality of technique, be it economic, programmatic or constructive: a critical analysis of the presuppositions of each project [context, final objectives, restrictions] constitutes the foundation of a method by which the unavoidable tectonic dimension must confront typological and functional innovation, together with the even more essential theme of social responsibility.
Of the projects developed by FARE in our first two years of activity, we mention the
CBF_Centre pour le Bien-être des Femmes, in Ouagadougou [Burkina Faso], inaugurated in November 2007, the Dubai Municipality New Headquarters in Dubai [UAE] and the Ras Al Khor Wildlife Visitor’s Centre, also in Dubai.
Riccardo Vannucci completed his PhD in Architectural Design at the La Sapienza University in Rome, while simultaneously developing a decidedly sui generis approach to the profession in architectural design, engineering and project management, in different contexts over a twenty year period.
Giuseppina Forte graduated from the La Sapienza University in Rome. Initially interested in the development of workplace environments and interior design, she now actively pursues an approach focused on communications and environmental design practices.
