Dogma was founded in 2002 and is led by Pier Vittorio Aureli and Martino Tattara. From the beginning of its activities, Dogma has worked on the relationship between architecture and the city by focusing mostly on urban design and large-scale projects. Parallel to their design projects, the members of Dogma have intensely engaged with teaching, writing, and research, activities that have been an integral part of the office’s engagement with architecture. Dogma is also active in offering consultancies to municipalities and agencies concerned with urban planning and architectural issues. Dogma’s work has been widely published and exhibited. In 2006, Dogma won the 1st Iakov Chernikhov Prize for the best emerging architectural practice and in 2013 the first monograph on the work of the office was published by the AA Publications alongside an exhibition at the AA entitled ‘Dogma. 11 Projects’

Pier Vittorio Aureli studied at the Istituto Universitario di Architettura di Venezia and later at the Berlage Institute in Rotterdam. Aureli currently teaches at the AA School of Architecture in London and is visiting professor at Yale University. His projects, research, writing, and teaching focus on the relationship between architectural form, political theory and urban history. He is the author of many essays and several books, including the seminal pieces ‘The Project of Autonomy’ (2008) and ‘The Possibility of an Absolute Architecture’ (2011).

Martino Tattara is the head of research and teaching at Studio Basel: Contemporary City Institute at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich (ETH). He studied at the Istituto Universitario di Architettura di Venezia and at the Berlage Institute in Rotterdam. His main theoretical interest is the relationship between architecture and large-scale urban design.
