Exposure Architects - Dorit Mizrahi & Oliviero Godi

She is from Israel, with a degree in Architecture at the Politecnico in Milan. He is Italian, with a Master in
Architecture at Columbia University in New York. Both with working experiences in the USA, in the UK,
Spain, Israel and Japan. Living and working now in Bergamo, near Milan, is somehow strange for these two
architects who present themselves as “Exposure Architects”, both as a reminder of their international
experience and because they still have projects abroad.

After collaborating with Pierce & Allen in New York, Zaha Hadid in London and at the Technical Research
Center at the Obayashi Co. in Japan, they have started their own office, first in Spain with a local architect,
and eventually in Italy.

Their unique way of making architecture, comes from their common experience at Columbia U., as a student
and visiting scholar, resulting in a strong conceptualization of each project, together with an aesthetical
attitude acquired from the various working experiences.

With their projects they try to “expose” –thus the office’s name- , to bring to light situations, events,
relationships hidden among the programs of the project, triggering a reaction in the user of the designed
spaces, therefore offering tools rather than answers, asking people to be actors rather than spectators only.

The aim is to have many actors interacting actively and dynamically with the project.

The starting point is a exhaustive investigation of the programs given with the projects. Programs that are
then manipulated, deconstructed and then somehow reassembled.

Only after come form and materials, that must be coherent with the initial concept –therefore making
the events to happen- and to allow the dialog with the context –social, historical, and natural- in which
the project is located.
