Esperia is more than a design practice - it is the synthesis of Massimiliano Gotti Porcinari’s professional, academic, and research path.

It represents an ongoing exploration of how space can affect human behavior, perception, and well-being; how architecture can become an instrument for living better, not just for organizing functions. 

Through Esperia, Massimiliano’s work moves between theory and practice, between teaching and design — from university studios to built projects — always guided by the same question: how do we truly experience space? 

Each project, lesson, and collaboration becomes a way to rediscover what architecture can offer beyond efficiency: balance, pleasure, well-being, and identity. 

As a professor and architect, Massimiliano encourages students and collaborators to look at space as something alive — a system of relationships rather than a static form — and to design with empathy, awareness, and imagination.  

In this way, Esperia is not only a practice, but a shared mindset: a way of thinking, teaching, and creating through experience.
