Marco Virgili
AIA, LEED AP | Senior Architect, Historic Preservation Specialist
Cynical. Persnickety. History Nerd.
“Exceptional design and responsible stewardship of our built environment come from learning to read the context around us.”
Marco has studied traditional design, vernacular forms, and archaic and transitional construction methods, and has approached preservation and adaptive reuse projects with sensitivity. Marco has significant experience and technical knowledge that he applies to both new construction and existing building projects, some of national significance. He is also an exceptional resource for the documentation of historic structures, including advanced laser scanning, digital photogrammetry, and scan-to-BIM methodology.

I find joy and meaning in exploring new destinations and am constantly on the lookout for fresh experiences. So far, my absolute favorite location on the planet is Rome, owing to its remarkable fusion of history with a lively, contemporary, and chaotic urban hub. It was in Rome that I first developed a fondness for the bustling city lifestyle. I aspire to instill a love of travel in my two children and wish for them to feel as stimulated and invigorated as I did journeying with my parents.
