Studio 65

Studio65 was founded by Franco Audrito in 1965 in Turin as an avant-garde collective experiment: a heterogeneous group of artists, photographers and aspiring directors, all students of the architecture faculty of the Polytechnic of Turin. In 1975 Audrito, partner Athena “Nanà” Sampaniotou and colleagues from Studio65 began participating in events and building structures in the Middle East, subsequently continuing their work in many other countries, including Saudi Arabia, Tunisia, Egypt, the United Arab Emirates and China. Studio65 currently has offices in Turin and Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
