Walter Nicolino on kiirelt kasvava ja nii Torinos,
Bostonis kui Londonis tegutseva arhitektuuribüroo Carlo Ratti Associati (CRA)
äripartner ja arhitekt. Käsilolevad projektid varieeruvad nii oma mõõtkava kui
asukoha poolest erinevatel kontinentidel. Viimasemate projektide seast leiab
1000 tsunamiohvritele mõeldud maja Sri Lankas, Londoni 2012 olümpiamängude nn
pilveprojekti ja 2008 Zaragoza maailmanäituse nn digitaalse veepaviljoni, mis
nimetati Time ajakirja poolt aasta parimaks leiutiseks. Täna on töölaual mitmed
linnaarendusprojektid nii Lähis-Idas, Venemaal kui Kesk-Ameerikas. Büroo on
võitnud hulgaliselt auhindu, nende loomingut on avaldanud New York Times,
Boston Globe, Der Spiegel, Discovery Channel, BBC, CNN, Corriere, Repubblica,
Domus ja Abitare. Hiljuti nimetas Renzo Piano fond CRA Itaalia juhtivaks uueks
bürooks, mistõttu ehitab CRA täna ka üht kooli juurdeehitust Cavezzos
Põhja-Itaalias, mis sai 2012 maavärinas kannatada.
