Architecture and Vision is a cutting edge practice involved in art, architecture, product and transportation design, known for developing elegant, ecological and economic solutions for our evolving planet.
The vision of AV is to improve the quality of life through a wise use of technologies and available resources to create a harmonious integration of humans, technology and nature. AV works for airlines and space agencies, governmental institutions, universities, research institutions, and foundations as well as commercial companies and private clients.

AV projects have received international recognition. In 2006, a prototype of the extreme environment tent, “DesertSeal” (2004), became part of the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art, New York, after being featured in SAFE: Design Takes on Risk (2005), curated by Paola Antonelli. In the same year, Chicago’s Museum of Science and Industry selected Vittori and Vogler as ‘Modern-day Leonardos’ for its ‘’Leonardo da Vinci: Man, Inventor, Genius’’ exhibition. In 2007, a model of “MarsCruiserOne” (2007), the design for a pressurized laboratory rover for human Mars exploration, was shown at the Centre Georges Pompidou, Paris, as part of the exhibition Airs de Paris. The travelling exhibition “Architecture and Vision: From Pyramids to Spacecraft”, showing projects of the studio is touring internationally.
