About A.M. Architects

When three young Italian architects founded the studio MMV in 1967, they unknowingly established what would become one of the largest architectural consortia in Europe. More than fifty years later, one of its original founders, Dr. Alfonso Mercurio, continues this savoir-faire through AMA Group, which brings forth cutting-edge skyscrapers and residences across the world.To further diversify its offerings, in 2008 it opened Mercurio Design Lab, led by Dr. Alfonso Mercurio’s son Massimo Mercurio, an engineer and designer at heart. Guided by its predecessor, the eponymous studio explores curves and eccentric forms—styles which other architects shy away from—in order to create avant-garde concepts inspired by the vibrancy of Asia. Headquartered in Rome, AMA Group built massive partnerships in the semiconductor industry, listing among its clients Texas Instruments, the world’s largest maker of analog technology components; Advanced Micro Devices, the second-largest supplier and only significant rival to Intel in the market for x86-based microprocessors; and STMicroelectronics, Europe’s largest semiconductor chip maker. Beyond that industry, AMA Group also worked on the Milan Stock Exchange redevelopment, as well as for French luxury conglomerate Cartier.
