Colomba Pecchioli

I love to involve students in a dynamic learning process: my aim is to make students understand how architecture is related to our life, and how design deals with our use and appropriation of every-day space.

Colomba Pecchioli, born in Florence in 1976, is an architect who graduated with honors from the Faculty of Architecture at the University of Florence.

After receiving her license in 2004, she co-founded collaborative networks such as ottoperotto, aimed at promoting contemporary architecture in Florence. Her work has been recognized in national and international competitions, including the New Pedestrian Mobile Bridge at the Arsenale site in Venice. In 2012, she co-founded [P+P] Architetti Associati, where she serves as senior partner, focusing primarily on interior design, adaptive reuse, and restoration projects involving historic heritage for private clients.

Since 2003, she has combined her professional practice with academic teaching. She is currently Professor at IED, SRISA, and Kent State University, Florence Program.

In 2009, she participated in the renewal of the Board of Architects of Florence and, in 2012, became its first female President. She later served as Board Member of the Florence Architects Foundation, where she was elected President from 2019 to 2021.
