[01] The Lens

Maps, diagrams, and images help us see
the world differently.

Humap brings together research, design, and experimentation to find unexpected connections and give ideas a visual form. The result can be something to look at, touch, interact with, or contribute to. Each project finds its own way of engaging people and telling a story.

Every idea can take a different shape.

Every idea can take a different shape.

Depending on the context, the outcome might be a map, a diagram, an installation, an exhibition, or something entirely unexpected.

The aim is to find a form that helps people see things differently, discover connections, or become part of the story.

From maps and diagrams to installations and interactive experiences, Humap finds the right form to make ideas visible and engaging.

[04] Behind Humap

I'm Ilaria Marzano, an architect and visual designer based in Milan. I founded Humap in 2021. I started out working in architecture and interior design, but over time my interests shifted towards maps, data visualization, and visual storytelling. Today, I work across different formats, from digital projects to physical installations and participatory experiences, often bringing something of my architectural background along the way.

Architect & Visual Designer

Ilaria Marzano is an architect and visual researcher based in Milan. After several years in architectural and interior design, she gradually shifted her practice toward data visualization and map-making as cultural and narrative tools. In 2021, she founded Humap as a research-driven practice rooted in this intersection.
