A.S.T. Engineering Ltd. was established in 2008; it supports and carries on with continuity the decades-long activity of “Studio Trame e Associati” (founded in 1975), still working with it and representing at the same time its natural evolution in terms of management and organization. A.S.T. Engineering deals with transformation and development of cities as well as smaller urban areas and territories in the process of urbanization.
The company is mainly active in the fields of urban design and territorial planning, architectural design and restoration and structural design. Our goal is to provide clients with a full service design, and (if required) management of works, artefacts and infrastructure necessary for the development of the civil society. The company also provides consulting, feasibility studies and scientific researches, especially in the areas of logistics and planning of complex systems.

At home or in a public space, at work or in the private realm, architecture is dictated by people’s needs, and good architecture must reflect these. A.S.T. Engineering is driven by a belief that everything that surrounds us has an impact on the quality of our daily lives. Therefore, for us, the understanding of context - physical, cultural and climatic - is essential when planning functional and intelligent buildings. Working to this philosophy, we set out projects that create connections with the existing urban or natural fabric, we carefully choose appropriate services to ensure a high standard of usability and mobility, and we focus on to the symbolism of form and the effects of natural light within the structure. Our approach is based on design excellence and successful execution, supported by strong budgeting, programme control and project management. At the same time the value and quality derived from the conceptual, functional and beauty point of view is ensured by constant dialogue with all those involved in the project and a continuous design process that in the end allows us to reach the best results.
