AA alum Giulliana Giorgi (AA Dipl 2022) has been named a RIBA Rising Star 2025. The award uplifts ten emerging architectural practitioners, with this year focusing on the themes of engagement and collaboration.
According to RIBA Journal, 'Giorgi combines a one-day-a-week teaching role with four days a week at Allies and Morrison, where she has curated exhibitions, events and guides on natural materials as part of the practice’s Climate Change Group. She is a driving force on the development of the Stonut, a prefabricated structural stone system that adapts precast concrete technology to stone ... She is also researching the use of indigenous stone in UK construction after winning a grant this year from the RIBA Scott Brownrigg Award for Sustainable Development.'
