Vele Studio is an Italian architectural firm centred on urban projects and design established in 2004 by Architect Giuseppe Vele, with branches in Napoli and Avellino.
Over the years we cooperated with engineers, artists, anthropologists and other professionals, participating successfully to awards winning national and international competitions which also led to several publications.
Care and devotion dedicated to the sustainable use of energy, to urban requalification and to the upgrade of dwellings is a constant feature of our projects. Amongst which:
Baku, a system for harvesting rain water, developed on considerations made over the relationship between man and nature, illustrates an alternative approach to gathering rain water. This project won the first prize at the “Nuovi Segni” international competition sponsored by “Sole 24 ore” (jurors Anna Detheridge, Stefano Boeri).
Fireflies gardens, an innovative systems dealing with the architectural and energetic redevelopment of urban locations and of analogical and multimedia installations.
Our researches have been published on national publications amongst which D’architettura, where the project Baku, a system to harvest rain water, was published on issue Nr 22 of 2003, The upside down of the Spanish Quarters on Abitare between 2009 and 2011 and several interviews on “Templi dell’energia”
