Gianpaolo Pietri is an architect, journalist, entrepreneur, coder, producer and writer. Translation? He is a communicator. That’s how he sees his body of work. Beyond artistry or creativity is the need to communicate the true nature of basic human emotions. Essentially, Gianpaolo uses a range of media to communicate , to share his ideas about the World and how it is evolving. There is a common thread visible throughout all of his projects. He seeks to answer the question: How shall we live?
In 2010, Gianpaolo developed a digital news site, Yastá, for the growing yet underserved spanish-speaking community in the US. He currently serves as the media company’s Creative Director. He sees his work on this project as a clear extension, and evolution, of his architecture work.
