Why did I invite Marco Antonini?

Marco and I have been colleagues in architecture since 2009, and friends with many common interests. He is a great thinker and designer. He joined me as a co-panelist at the Temple Symposium on Sustainability in 2018 and I have always sought ways to engage in dialogue about our work.

    A winner of the Rome Prize Fellowship in Historic Preservation and Conservation and LEED-accredited specialist in sustainable architecture and urbanism, Professor Kranis designs and teaches with a passion for resource conservation and for smarter cities. He has led multidisciplinary teams in commercial architecture projects, mentored undergraduate and graduate students of design, and runs his own architectural practice in New York City and Rome.

  • Invited Artist

    Antonini has his advanced degrees in Landscape Architecture and Architecture from the University of Rome “La Sapienza”, where he has also taught, as well as lecturing at other cultural institutions. Antonini’s work spans between Landscape Design and Architecture on all scales. Gardens are at the center of this spectrum and represent the root of his creative practice. When establishing his own practice in 1999, Antonini’s motivation was to merge and expand his professional multi-disciplinary knowledge through working relationships with plantsmen, craftsmen, and artists. Antonini is also a founding member of LAND-I Archicolture, an art collective that constructs highly acclaimed landscape installations.
