This is the public profile of Giancarlo Zema, Additional information and high-resolution images are available for accredited press members, to access additional information about Giancarlo Zema please login as a press member.About Giancarlo Zema : The Giancarlo Zema Design Group (GZDG) is an architecture practice in Rome, specialized in eco-sustainable projects, innovative semisubmerged architectural structures, marine parks, floating habitats, yacht and interior design. Founded in 2001 by the architect Giancarlo Zema as a dynamic and flexible organisation, it covers the entire design process, from concept to the executive details. The (GZDG) uses advanced technologies and design software, which allow us to project and calculate different planning solutions. With the use of computer-aided design systems, we can create 3D models, prospective views and renderings, producing a full layout presentation. This offers the client all the necessary information on the project before the realization.
The main characteristics of our design are soft lines that clearly recall biomorphic forms. The (GZDG) is sensitive to new technologies and uses sophisticated high performance technological elements perfectly integrated in their organic designs. We believe that only when architecture and design blend with each other, something new has been created.
Our projects are frequently shown in international exhibitions, TV programmes and published in the most important scientific, design, nautical and architecture magazines and books.

Art, Architecture and Design are a special way for me to communicate and give emotions in respect of people and our environment. The main characteristics of my design are soft lines that clearly recall biomorphic forms. I believe that only when architecture and design blend with each other, something new has been created.
