"What inspires my design work is the idea of a courageous, unconventional, sustainable architecture that does not necessarily bend to traditional rules and habits but has the courage to dare and look beyond the barriers of the known reality. I conceive each work as an organic and integral unit in which the individual components, and their combinations, are indispensable and make a difference. Therefore, the base of my projects is the desire to do and to build places and objects skilled in satisfying human needs and requirements." - Simone Micheli
