You cannot fail to notice his signature work on any construction project he works on; a touch of modernity that borrows heavy from nature. But even Arrighi himself never thought architecture will have an impact of such magnitude in his life.
Arrighi's love for architecture sparked from a tender age when he was a little boy growing up in New England town. He was constantly fascinated by the gothic medieval architecture that graced most public buildings, taking up most of his free time exploring such architectural wonders. Richard and her mum shared the same passion of exploring buildings and gardens, and many of the outings with his dad and mum were spent doing just that. He knew right away, from this early age, that he wanted to be an architect when he grew up.
