Walter Vecchio is an Engineer, Senior Visual Artist and Photographer at Mario Cucinella Architects.
Born in Catania, he graduated with a master's degree in Building Engineering - Architecture from the University of Catania. His thesis, titled “Armonie Nascoste”, focuses on the parallelism between architecture and music and explores a method to convert architectural facades into musical scores and melodies.
Following his studies, he pursued a traineeship abroad in Wien, Austria, gaining experience in various project phases through hands-on design tasks, from the initial design proposals up to planning applications. Later on, he worked for a Visualisation Agency in Milan, where he developed strong skills in the field of Architectural Visualization.
In 2019, he joined the Visual Unit team at MCA, working on some of the most prestigious projects and competitions of the company.
Driven by a strong passion for photography and continuous research in the field, his photo titled "Change of Perspective," featuring the DC Tower by Dominique Perrault, was selected as a Special Mention in the Architizer Vision Awards' Exterior Photograph category in September 2023.
