About Me Interviews
My name is Ilaria and I am a social spatial designer and interdisciplinary researcher currently based in The Netherlands.
My practice combines social design and participatory practices to address challenging living conditions.
I have a sincere passion for writing which I constantly integrate in my work. I like to say that wherever there is a story to tell, there must be also a space able to provide that encounter.
