Luca Mereu (Nuoro, 1972). He graduated in 1998 from the University Institute of Architecture of Venice (IUAV), with a thesis on an urban design project for the historic centre of Nuoro.
He began his professional training in Venice at Studio Associato Regnault de la Mothe, where he worked on the restoration of historic and monumental buildings. He later joined the team at Lombardi e Associati, collaborating on the preparation of municipal urban plans for several towns in the Veneto region.
He subsequently moved to New York City, where he worked with Zaretsky Architects on residential reuse and renovation projects.
After returning to Italy, he began a long-standing collaboration with Mattioli Associati, establishing a professional partnership that continues to this day.
He currently lives and works between Verona and Sardinia, practising as an independent architect on commissions for both private and public clients, working either independently or in collaboration with others.
