Medaarch

Medaarch is an Italian design and architecture company based in Cava de’ Tirreni, in the province of Salerno, built around digital fabrication and computational design. It describes itself as a research, consulting and training centre rather than a conventional practice, applying parametric tools and 3D printing to buildings, interiors and objects.

It was founded by the engineer Gianpiero Picerno Ceraso, the architect Amleto Picerno Ceraso and Francesca Luciano, who leads education and marketing, and since 2018 it has run the CAD, Centro per l’Artigianato Digitale, a digital craft centre in the same town that serves professionals, companies and schools. From that base it develops architectural and interior work, the Medaarch Excellence Program and school programmes, and in 2021 it spun off the furniture studio Mediterranea Design.
