stARTT, studio di architettura e trasformazioni territoriali -office for architecture and territory transformations-, was born in February 2008 from an idea by Simone Capra (Rome 1978) and Claudio Castaldo (Latina 1978), in order to design and manage, in every step, the transformation processes they affect architecture and space for human activities, starting from specific expertise developed or working in network with other structures of professionals. In 2010 Francesco Colangeli joined stARTT project.

stARTT focuses its production on man-made environment transformation at different scales of intervention and at different degrees of complexity: landscape, territory, city, urban planning, public works and private architecture constitute the activity field, each time crossed with technical tools and meta-disciplinary theoretical research.
