Set Architects is an architecture firm based in Rome, founded and directed by Onorato di Manno and Andrea Tanci.

The studio’s design philosophy is founded on the pursuit of essential architecture, drawing inspiration from archetypal forms to envision future scenarios. The firm believes in architecture that asserts itself as a cultural and social value, deeply rooted in its local context.

The concept of critical synthesis serves as the guiding thread throughout the entire creative process, from the abstract idea to the definition of the design solution, conceived as a conscious response to the complexity of the functional program.

The studio’s activity unfolds through a continuous dialogue between design, research, and teaching, maintaining a strong connection between professional practice and the academic field.

Set Architects has received the AIAC “Young Italian Architects” award, along with significant recognitions in design competitions, including the Shoah Memorial in Bologna and the New School Complex in Sassa. The firm is also regularly invited to participate in conferences, exhibitions, and workshops such as the Tallinn Architecture Biennale, MAXXI Obiettivo Architettura and New Generations festival.
