PMP Architecture

PMP Architecture is founded on the conviction that Architecture can only be built work and that the ever-increasing academic approach to the profession fails to represent it conceptually and intellectually. 

Federico Pompignoli established the company in 2022, continuing an extensive career in bringing rigorous design concepts to built reality.  

Federico has broad experience in art, cultural, residential, hospitality, and luxury retail architecture. Over his decade-long collaboration with OMA/ Rem Koolhaas, he has designed and built in each field to the highest level of detail and customization. He manages complex networks of stakeholders, experts, and collaborators and works in all scales - from masterplanning to temporary installations, scenography, and furniture design. 

Since leaving OMA, Federico collaborated with Rem Koolhaas independently. Notable projects include the refurbishment of the Tretyakov Museum in Moscow and a private house in Zell am See, Austria. The latter - a semi-underground structure built on a steep and narrow Alpine plot - was completed in late 2022. 

PMP Architecture is currently engaged in other high-end residential, hospitality, and retail projects.

The company is based in Milan, Italy, and works internationally. 

Federico Pompignoli CV

Between 2010 and 2019, Federico practiced at OMA (formerly Office for Metropolitan Architecture), where he worked closely with Rem Koolhaas. He was the project leader for Fondazione Prada Museum Art Center in Milan – an iconic masterplan of 9 modern and historic buildings designed as flagship art and event spaces. He oversaw the project from concept to construction and designed much of the custom detail work ubiquitous at the Largo Isarco campus. He contributed to other widely published projects such as OMA’s Garage Museum in Moscow and Fondaco dei Tedeschi, a historic building in Venice converted into a department store. 

Following the completion of Fondazione Prada, Federico joined OMA’s New York branch where he worked on the extension of the Buffalo Art Museum and the new headquarters for the Philips Auction House in NYC.

Prior to his work at OMA, Federico collaborated with Guido Canali Associati in Italy.

He studied Architecture at the Milan Polytechnic where he graduated in 2004. 

Federico currently lectures at several universities in Europe.
