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.
