Designers Giuliano Fukuda

Giuliano Fukuda is a design studio founded by Lucia Giuliano and Makoto Fukuda. Both lived and worked in Barcelona for several years, where they experimented with design on different levels - from interior architecture to landscapes and their products - exploring these influences as a transformative practice. Lucia studied at the School of Architecture in Palermo, where she earned her degree, and also at the Universitat Politecnica de Catalunya in Barcelona. From 2000 to 2011 she worked as an architect at Arata Isozaki & Associates studio, working on several projects developed between Barcelona and Tokyo. Makoto, after having graduated and working as a tutor at the Tokyo University of Arts, moved to Barcelona where he worked for the Miralles Tagliabue EMBT studio from 1996 to 2016 supervising important projects for the city of Barcelona and the international scene. In 2006 he also joined the international architect team for Toyo Ito's studio for the development of projects between Europe and South America. Lucia and Makoto recently moved to Sicily where they founded their studio and are engaged in a design school project aimed at developing the culture of design on the island.
