About

G-SDS is a structural design studio founded in 2020 by Alessandro Garzanti with the ambition of redefining the role of structure in the contemporary built environment. The studio is interested in the intersection of art and engineering, conceiving structural engineering as a pure form of expression, capable of transforming the logic of forces into an aesthetic language. Its research focuses on the very essence of form – structure – space drawing inspiration from the patterns and principles found in the natural world.

This approach fosters a continual reflection of the balance between emptiness and the logical manifestation of matter. We believe that structure is understood as the most authentic language of design, grounded in universal physical principles that govern the dynamic world around us, it is not the space that defines the structure, but the structure that creates the space. In a world that may appear chaotic yet is governed by mathematical and physical laws, structural design becomes a crucial interpretive tool to craft environments coherent with the intrinsic nature of humans and the world we live in.

G-SDS aims to foster a renewed sensitivity toward structural design, restoring its central role in shaping meaningful environments. The studio operates as a laboratory of critical thinking, challenging established paradigms and opening new perspectives on how we conceive and inhabit space.
