Maria Pina Usai
Architect / Landscape Designer
Attracted by the dynamics of interaction between landscape, architecture, art and society, I deal with strategic planning for sustainable development of the territories and integrated architectural and landscape design in coastal areas.
I collaborate with the Coastal Conservatory Agency of Sardinia in the development of projects for the enhancement of Mediterranean coastal landscape.
In 2006 I conceived and co-founded Linkinart, art and architecture for urban regeneration, and in 2008 I was one of the founders of Connected Landscapes, with which I won the Landscape Award of the Sardinian Region in 2011.
In 2012 I founded U-BOOT, a multidisciplinary group for research and action on landscapes with high levels of social and environmental vulnerability.
I have won several national and international prizes and mentions and I held lectures and conferences in Italy and abroad.
Since 2015 I am member of the board of directors of MEDSEA Mediterranean Sea and Coast Foundation, which aim is to contribute to a fair and sustainable future for the people living in the Mediterranean by promoting the conservation of marine and coastal ecosystems and cultural heritage.
Maria Pina Usai is an architectural practice based in Genova, Italy.
