New Palace of Justice in Catania

Giovanni Vaccarini Architetti – SINCRETICA srl architecture is a laboratory for experimentation and research on the project. It starts in 1993 as a professional office, evolving over time as a design company with headquarters in Pescara, Italy, and with operational branches in Geneva and Riyadh (KSA).

Even in its growth phase it has never lost the laboratory spirit, a laboratory of "digital craftsman" closely linked to the various stages of design development, from conception to costruction. We are convinced that architecture starts from ideas, even before figures. The figures (the part that is usually the most evident side of our work) are the result of a long process of putting together the multitude of strings of information to obtain a project.

We are an architecture and design lab. We are a family of creative minds. Our projects are closely collaborative, bringing a fresh perspective, inspiring confidence and building commitment. Since 1993 we have developed more than 450 design projects in 10 countries. We have received 20 Awards and nominations. Designing is an art of listening. “Listening” to the city, the site, the environment in which we design, listening to the multiple instances of each project, listening to users / clients.

Designing is an art of transposition. From listening to the project, or from the idea to the project, there is never a linear process but a complex set of interrelations that constantly informs the final result. The metamorphosis from the idea to the project requires wisdom and knowledge (know how).

We work daily to refine our sensitivity to listening, wisdom and knowledge, in order to be able to support our clients in making adequate choices and transforming ideas into architecture and a better environment for the whole community.

Design Solving In our vision, the project is a method of solving problems. GVA's work is always part of a multidisciplinary group, because we are convinced of the social role of architecture in which a group of figures contribute to its conception and implementation.

We explore the problems. We work to understand the problem, rather than find solutions right away. This approach simplifies decisions and leads to effective and real solutions. We explore more options. We believe that everything can always be done in another way, we always try stubbornly and systematically for the best solution.

We are aware that we have a great responsibility towards the environment we live in, and also towards the whole community. We have modeled our approach to the project according to international standards that respect sustainability criteria, developing the most suitable and sustainable solutions for each project.

Since 1993 GVA has gained integrated design skills in the following sectors:
Residential, single/multi-family houses, social housing. Spaces for work, offices and coworking. Stadiums and citadels of sport and leisure. Poles for the production of electricity from renewable sources. Hotellerie.

Landscape design. The control of the design processes takes place on the basis of the quality protocols ISO EN UNI 9001:2015; the design development is carried out in BIM, always placing side by side maquette and mockup, hand and "digital hand" coexist side by side.

We offer innovative ideas, but also all the knowledge, sensitivity, wisdom and tools necessary to develop and realize the ambitious visions of our clients.
