Giancarlo Mazzanti (1963, Barranquilla, Colombia) is an Architect of the Javeriana University, Bogotá – Colombia (1987) with a postgraduate in Architecture history and theory, and Industrial design from the University of Florence, Italy (1991).
He has received several national and international awards and honors. Most of his architecture work involves social values at its main core, searching for projects that empower transformations and build community.
El Equipo Mazzanti, is a Colombian design studio specialising in socially driven architectonic design and academic research. With over twenty-five years of experience, the studio has gained wide national and international recognition. The studio’s practice is characterised by open, collective and non-hierarchical working processes, which bring together architects, urban planners, sociologists, artists and other professionals. On-going questioning and discussion, as well as a motivation to transgress given limits, constitute part of the development of every project.
