Luca Battaglia met the famous photographer Gabriele Basilico in Milan when he was about to become an architect. At the end of a lecture, a conversation with the man who never stopped describing the modern city was the beginning of a profound influence on his approach to the art of portraying images. Until the photographer's death in 2013, Battaglia and Basilico regularly crossed paths on projects in which they documented architecture through photography.
Luca Battaglia is now an established architect. He gained extensive experience at the studios of Yves Lion and Renzo Piano in Paris, where he has been one of the founding partners of Fresh Architectures since 2007. Nevertheless, he has never hung up the camera that has accompanied him since adolescence, driven by the need to express his professionalism in architecture in a different way.
