About

Each landscape is a story worth telling.

G. Convertino

Biography

I am Gilda Convertino, a licensed Italian architect and visual artist currently based in Basel. My education developed in a multicultural context across Germany, Italy, and Spain. I earned my Master of Science in Architecture with top honors from the University of Florence, studied at Technische Universität in Berlin, and completed a postgraduate specialization in Landscape Architecture and Garden Design at IUAV University of Venice.

Since 2024, I have also been cultivating an artistic practice that explores and deepens the dialogue between anthropic landscapes and the natural environment, exhibiting my work in Berlin, Milan, and Basel.
