Luca Panhota is an architect, art historian, and curator whose practice operates at the intersection of art, architecture, and the city. Over nearly three decades, he has developed and led projects across corporate, hospitality, residential, and commercial sectors, working across different scales and cultural contexts.
His curatorial practice brings contemporary art into dialogue with architecture and place. He develops artistic concepts, researches and selects artists, commissions site-specific works, and accompanies their development and production within architectural environments. His projects explore memory, identity, representation, and the relationship between art and the experience of place.
Drawing on his architectural and art-historical background, Panhota works across curatorial projects, artist commissions, art research, and cultural programming. He also advises clients, architects, and developers on the selection, commissioning, and integration of art within architectural environments, connecting artistic research with the spatial and cultural character of each project.
He holds a Master of Architecture from Pratt Institute in New York and a Master’s degree in History and Theory of Art and Architecture from the Università della Svizzera Italiana in Lugano. He also has a background in business management.
