Portfolio, around 2016
Martina Filligoi was born in the late 1980s in northeastern Italy. She studied architecture in Venice and Lisbon, lived in Berlin for six months as part of an internship, and later worked in Milan. Due to the poor situation of the Italian job market for architects, she decided to seek employment abroad. She traveled with a one-way ticket to Hamburg, where she had acquaintances, and set herself a deadline: “If I hadn’t found a job within three months, I would have returned and retrained in Italy.” The young Italian woman had her portfolio with her, showcasing her previous work. Already in the first month, Martina Filligoi found a position and has been working in an architecture and design office in Hamburg since 2017.
