The group was founded in Rome in 2003, by Gianluca Evels, Francesco Fazzio, Lorenza Giavarini, Stefania Papitto, as a free relationship of architects.

From 2008 the active partners are Gianluca Evels and Stefania Papitto. We measure us from urban and landscape design until interior design and restoration, in a process that involve specific competences, always respecting the environmental characteristics. Our approach to any project is to involve all parties in a creative collaboration to define the objectives of the project with a balanced combination within critical readings of the local context and the “outsider” perspective of us. Urban quality doesn’t depend only on single architectural objects’ quality, but also on the relationships between the objects and the context.

Therefore the real theme is how the site and the rest of the city can change according to that intervention, it’s always a renewed and re-invented connective system, that uses existing references and new ones. The work on pre-existent spaces and the interior design projects try to explain all the available elements in a new synthesis: the traces of the history of the building, the expectations of the client, psycho-sensorial aspects of the architecture united in a continuous spatial and visual tale. It seems necessary to be able to cross scales in different ways, in order to find a new and flexible hierarchy of choices for an alternative new urban view.

The projects of b4architects are exposed in different cities around Europe (Sevilla, Santiago de Compostela, Wien, Helsinki, Sofia, Oslo) and in North America (Vancouver, Toronto, Seattle).
