Peluffo also carries expertise of the MENA region, working on projects across Egypt, including the master plan of the ‘Fouka’ project on the Mediterranean Sea and the new city of Al Alamein in addition to working for the Egyptian Ministry of Housing and New Urban Communities as a consultant for architectural and artistic visions of the city.
Peluffo’s contemporary approach to architecture stems from the belief that architecture “can change the world” and that every building has a public role and meaning.
