Career

In 2007, Nati came to the Philippines and introduced "green architecture".[6] In 2009, Nati and Jose D. Leviste III,[7] founded the Italpinas Euroasian Design and Eco-development Corporation (ITPI). Leviste is a Sydney-based Filipino lawyer.

ITPI was later renamed Italpinas Development Corporation (IDC), with Nati as Executive Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and Leviste as President.

Education

Born in Rome, Italy, Nati first studied automotive design. Later, he pursued architecture, and earned a bachelor's degree, summa cum laude, in Architecture and Design at Sapienza Universita di Roma, where he served as faculty member for sometime. A few years later, he received his master's degree in Urban Landscape and Layers at the University of Tallinn in Estonia.[14] Nati also earned a Master's degree in Business Administration from Asian Institute of Management (AIM).[15]

Style

Inspired by biomimicry,[16] Nati considers natural conditions and sustainable energy in designing his buildings. He shapes every building so that it acts like a sailboat: The sailboat catches the wind, not fight against it.

Nati believes that shelters and entire cities should be constructed without harming nature.[17] He also explains that buildings can be made to withstand severe weather. In response to the damage caused by typhoon Yolanda to the Philippines, Nati said, “Buildings and cities can be planned, designed and developed to minimize and in some cases avoid damage created by 20-foot storm surges and other extreme conditions."[18]

Buildings
