PLUS ULTRA is a design studio based in Milan and Pesaro, founded in 2016 by Alessandra Castelbarco Albani and Marco Di Nallo and run with Chiara Girolami. Through a network of collaborations, it deals with multiple fields and projects at different scales: from architecture to exhibition design, to research and curatorship of cultural projects. PLUS ULTRA was born from the desire to go beyond the disciplinary boundaries of architecture by interpreting the project as a creative process applicable to different areas of culture. It conceives the existing as a historical, economic, or social resource to be enhanced through the project, regardless of the scale or type of intervention.
PLUS ULTRA is also involved in academic teaching and research, especially in the restoration field, and it collaborates with Palazzo Ducale in Urbino and the curatorship of Villa Imperiale in Pesaro.
