atelier ORA was founded in Zurich in 2014 from the collaboration between Enrique Orti and Ilaria Riscassi. The practice develops its work in the context of European architecture, carrying out projects mainly in Switzerland, Italy and Spain. Our work is based on constant investigation and research: the development of the contemporary city, urban design, new forms of living and the evolution of public space are our main fields of interest.
