Andrea Sinigaglia

Andrea joined Theatreplan as a BIM architect in 2020. A highly experienced BIM professional, he has worked at a number of architectural practices in London, including Scott Brownrigg and JTP, working across residential and education sectors. His experience as an architect, BIM coordinator and Revit technology support expert, combined with a love for the performing arts, makes Theatreplan the perfect fit for his skills.

Andrea studied architecture at Universita’ di Firenze and later undertook a Master’s degree at Universita’ di Genova. He grew up in a large family with a shared passion for music and performance and many of his close family now work in the performing arts. Architecture was a way for Andrea to combine his technical aptitude with his love of the performing arts which was a focus from the very beginning - his degree thesis was for a Masterplan for a ‘Music Harbour’ in the gulf of La Spezia and project for a 7,000-seat concert hall.

Andrea has also undertaken research into performing arts architecture including looking in depth at the original Crystal Palace and the typology of buildings for music and theatre. He enjoys living in London for the opportunities it gives him to access top level music and theatre performances.

Andrea has been immersed in some of Theatreplan's largest projects, recently including BIM coordination for two new theatres at the New Territories East Cultural Centre in Hong Kong. He is supporting the refurbishment project at Edinburgh King's Theatre and developed the building of a 3D model for the highly complex Singapore Esplanade- Theatres on the Bay.

Additionally, he took on the auditorium design and modelling of the new Studio theatre at Pitlochry Festival Theatre. Communicating subtle differences in seating geometry and setting out (seat pad heights, seat back angles, row spacing etc) is one of Andrea's many specialties.
