Trotti Studio

Trotti + Associates is an architecture and industrial design firm specialising in sustainable solutions for ecologically sensitive areas and extreme environments: Caribbean islands, tropical rainforests, reefs, mountains and deserts.

Guillermo Trotti, the practice’s president, began as a consultant to NASA, designing elements of the International Space Station and concepts for lunar bases and vehicles, and co-founded the Sasakawa International Center for Space Architecture at the University of Houston. The BioSuit, developed with MIT scientists for the NASA Institute for Advanced Concepts, replaces gas-pressurised suits with a mechanical counter-pressure second skin patterned from 3D laser scans, and was exhibited at the Metropolitan Museum of Art and at the Venice Biennale.
