Studio Transit is a Rome-based architecture and urban design firm founded in 1990 by Franco Purini, Laura Thermes, and a collective of architects including Roberto Marzot, Massimo Battaglini, Marco Rietti, and Fulvio Santaniello. Known for its visionary approach to metropolitan transformation, the studio focuses on large-scale infrastructure, public buildings, and complex urban planning. Blending rational structure with dynamic form, Studio Transit navigates the intersection between architecture, mobility, and cultural identity. Their work explores the contemporary city as a site of layered complexity, employing geometry, rhythm, and material precision to shape urban experiences that are both efficient and expressive. From transport hubs like Rome’s Tiburtina Station to strategic urban plans, the firm continues to influence the evolution of the Italian and international urban landscape through projects that embrace innovation while remaining rooted in civic responsibility and spatial clarity.
