Giulia Foscari

Giulia Foscari is an architect, curator and activist who has been practising in Europe, Asia and the Americas. She is the founder of UNA and of its alter ego UNLESS.

UNA is an architecture studio focused on cultural projects with strong emphasis on preservation. Recent and ongoing projects include an exhibition venue for Dries van Noten, the Anish Kapoor Art Foundation, a pavilion for LAS Art Foundation — awarded Installation of the Year by Dezeen — as well as product designs for Artemide, Cassina and Techogym.

UNLESS is an interdisciplinary agency for change, a non-profit Foundation operating at the intersection of environment, politics, technology, and the arts. Its mission is to catalyze global attention on the existential role our Global Commons play in securing a just and safe operating space for humanity on Earth, and to call to action in defense of intergenerational justice.

Alongside directing UNA / UNLESS, Giulia Foscari is a member of the International Council of the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA), and a board member of the Fondazione Musei Civici di Venezia (MuVE) and of the Antarctic Southern Ocean Coalition (ASOC). Giulia worked extensively with Rem Koolhaas (OMA/AMO) and collaborated with Zaha Hadid. She taught at Hong Kong University and the Architectural Association in London.
