Cesare Griffa is an architect, designer and amateur algae farmer.In the past, he spent some time working for big architectural firms such as Zaha Hadid Architect, Arata Isozaki, ARUP and ArchA, and in the Academia at Politecnico di Torino, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI), Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), Istituto Europeo del Design (IED), and Domus Academy.
Cesare now works in his own practice in Torino where he likes to use micro-algae as living material for design and architecture. In his vision, micro-algae are not only a promising eco-technology, but a mean to reflect on the origins of life and on the role of humankind on this planet. In his algal work there is a bit of the primordial soup that is the origins of us all.
