About Filippo Poli Photography
I’m a professional photographer graduated in architecture at Milan Polytechnic and with a master’s degree in urban culture “Metropolis” at the UPC Barcelona. I worked as an architect since 2003 and from 2005 to 2009 I was involved as curator in the exhibition “Post-it City, occasional urbanites” presented at CCCB in Barcelona and in other international venues. Meanwhile I was unconsciously photographing mostly buildings during my architecture trips.
In 2008, I quit my job and I decided to follow my passions, photography, architecture and travel, very common passions indeed… the result of this decision are the architectural and landscape photography that you are visiting in this website.
My photography is completely immersed by architecture, geometry, landscape and the human traces I found during my travels for work or leisure.

Casa ECS , with its special laboratory for artists, rises in Sicily on an area of a high environmentally-friendly allure within the city of Scicli. Thanks to the natural configuration of the territory it is possible to appreciate the gentle slope of the land towards the Mediterranean sea
Lotto 16 is part of the Garden cooperative in Marina di Ragusa, which consists of two-story residences surrounded by big gardens. The ground level hosts the living area, kitchen and dining room; all environments have a direct relationship with the exterior.
The project was born from the idea to link the different spaces of the house by means of a unifying element. This concept was materialized employing a suspended ceiling that communicated both ends of the apartment and overlaid the existing elements and the new intervention.
The Fuzzy Dentist house was considered to still let that path being in function even when the construction is finished, and to appear almost as nothing much happens from constructing this house.
ASR House is a renovation project of a house situated on the second floor of a building located in Sicily, in the old town centre of Ragusa near the Cathedral and the Bishop’s Palace. A survey showed that the portion of the building to renovate had already been consolidated in the 90’s, during a restoration and consolidation of the entire property.
