Profile

BINOCLE is the office led by Italian architect Lorenzo Bini that deals with the transformation of existing spaces, from temporary structures to permanent buildings and gardens.

Born in 1971 and educated in Milan and Oslo, Lorenzo graduated in 1998 from Politecnico di Milano and worked in Milan and Rotterdam until 2003 when he started his own practice in Milano.

Alongside the professional activity, Lorenzo has taught at the Politecnico di Milano, at the Design Academy Eindhoven and at NABA, Nuova Accademia di Belle Arti in Milan.

In 2021 he became a member of the Council of the Order of Architects, Landscape Planners and Conservators of the Province of Milan with responsibility for cultural activities.

Our proposal for Sukkah City, a design competition that took place in New York in 2010, was a do-it-yourself structure tested during the development of our entry through a 1:1 scale prototype.

KOSHO is a symmetrical polyhedron, simply assembled through the use of modular elements and easily replicable by anyone willing to follow our shared manual of instructions.
