Davide Uccello

I am a Part 1 qualified architectural designer currently pursuing my Master’s degree and working towards my Part 2 qualification. Based in Dundee, I am passionate about how architecture can create more sustainable, inclusive, and socially responsible spaces.

I enjoy working across different scales, from design concepts to visual storytelling, and I am constantly seeking opportunities to learn and grow. I am fluent in three languages and have experience with tools such as AutoCAD, Photoshop, InDesign, and Twinmotion, along with a working knowledge of Rhino, Revit, and SketchUp.

I hope to gain practical experience, contribute to meaningful projects, and connect with others who share a passion for the future of design.

During my internship in Italy, I immersed myself in a variety of retrofitting projects that transformed diverse residential buildings. This hands-on experience deepened my understanding of construction methods and on-site processes, while also solidifying my passion for preserving architectural heritage. Working on the conservation and restoration of historic structures — particularly intricate stone façades — gave me a deep appreciation for heritage architecture and the importance of material preservation.

I also gained valuable insight into Italy’s public tender system, learning the intricacies of building classifications and regulatory requirements. My contributions included preparing and organising technical documentation for governmental submissions, managing both digital and physical archives, and ensuring compliance with documentation standards.

Additionally, I supported the early design stages of a photovoltaic park — a project that aligned with my strong interest in sustainable architecture and innovative energy solutions.

At university, I further developed my design, modelling, and visualisation skills through a range of projects centred on sustainability, circular design, and community-focused architecture. I am proficient in Autocad, Photoshop, InDesign, and Twinmotion, with working knowledge of SketchUp, Rhino and Revit. I thrive in both independent and collaborative environments, and I am eager to continue learning and contributing meaningfully within the architectural practice.

I’m currently completing my Master of Architecture (Part 2) at the University of Dundee, where I also earned my undergraduate degree (Part 1) in Architecture. Before attending university, I began my architectural journey at Glasgow City College, where I completed a two-year HND in Architectural Technologies.

Throughout my academic journey, I have focused on sustainable design, adaptive reuse, and community-led architecture, with a growing interest in how technology can support ecological and social resilience. My recent work explores themes such as circular food systems, vertical farming, and the role of architecture in addressing contemporary urban challenges.
