Elisa Lanzutti is the principal of ArchitecturaLAB, which she founded in 2018 after over 10 years of professional design experience developed  in different countries where she worked and a diverse multicultural academic background.

 

She believes architects have the power to communicate the importance of social equity and environmentally responsible messages and implement these values into projects for a positive impact.

Elisa is creative in seeking hidden potential in buildings and aiming at adding value through good design. Her belief in positive changes united with an entrepreneurial inclination pushed her to also establish her own independent development company EquityLAB, which she is currently growing with the goal of supporting equitable and sustainable projects at small scale. 

 

In addition to her professional practice, Elisa is involved in her community as a member of the Environmental Advisory Council (EAC Conshohocken) to foster positive thinking and to advocate for sustainable strategies and initiatives; and in the Great Philadelphia Area with “green” associations such as the Green Building United to promote sustainability and higher quality in construction and comfort in the building industry. Central in her beliefs are the importance of peer support and mentoring of younger generations to find their inspirational path which she enjoys through her involvement with the Women in Architecture group in Philadelphia.
