At world-renowned firm Transsolar KlimaEngineering, Associate Partner Tommaso Bitossi focuses on two aspects of climate-responsive design: architecture and climate engineering, based on his professional value of sufficiency before efficiency. His understanding of both the architectural and the engineering approaches facilitates the communication of complex strategies to the design team. He deeply believes that out-of-the-box thinking leads to resource-conscious solutions and high-quality built environments. It is important to him to keep environmental impacts as low as possible in all projects. Bitossi is committed to education with the goal of helping the next generation rethink how to combat climate.
