Francesca Mavaracchio is an Italian architect and the co-founder of 4051, a multidisciplinary practice operating between Italy and Switzerland. Her research explores contemporary forms of visual representation and their potential physical manifestations in architecture.

In 2023, she was a fellow at the MacDowell residency program in Peterborough, where she developed a series of works that translate relevant contemporary narratives into architectural elements. Francesca has previously worked as an architect at Herzog & de Meuron in Basel, contributing to projects across Switzerland, Italy, France, South Korea, and China.
