At Fublis, our Design Dialogues series offers a platform to uncover the creative minds redefining the architectural landscape. Through thoughtful interviews, we delve into the values, processes, and visions that drive today’s most innovative designers.
In this feature, we speak with TARI Architects, a Rome-based practice founded by Claudia Ricciardi and Marco Tanzilli. Since its inception in 2017, the studio has approached architecture not merely as a profession, but as a means of critical inquiry—a way to investigate contemporary culture, spatial behavior, and the evolving dynamics of the built environment.
Their portfolio spans diverse scales and typologies, from master plans to ephemeral pavilions, unified by a strong foundation in research and a clear emphasis on sustainable development. Recognition from esteemed institutions and international design competitions reflects their ability to translate complex ideas into impactful architectural solutions.
With an active role in academia and a growing list of accolades, TARI Architects stands at the intersection of theory and practice. This conversation reveals their design ethos, intellectual influences, and the larger cultural questions their work seeks to address.
TARI Architects is more than a design studio—it’s a laboratory of ideas, a space where architecture becomes a tool for exploring the collective dimensions of contemporary life. The Rome-based firm approaches each project as an opportunity to challenge conventions, critically interpret societal needs, and craft innovative spatial solutions.
From large-scale urban planning to temporary installations, TARI’s work is driven by research, experimentation, and a deep commitment to sustainability. Their projects have earned them recognition across national and international competitions, including first-place awards for visionary educational spaces and cultural institutions. Beyond practice, the firm is deeply engaged in academic research, collaborating with Sapienza University of Rome to push architectural discourse forward.
With accolades such as the Europe 40 under 40 and New Italian Blood awards, TARI is shaping the future of architecture through bold, forward-thinking design—one that not only responds to the present but also anticipates the evolving relationship between people, place, and environment.
