The most noted architectural projects of Benedetta include the Santa Caterina

needs of the clients and creating the sense of community through building up the
orchestral environment as a part of the local community; the Scottish Parliament
Building receives the 2005 RIBA (Royal Institute of British Architects) Stirling Prize
and 2021 Royal Gold Medal For Architecture from the RIBA, which strongly
