After his university degree in Florence in 1991, he took a deep interest in visual design in connection with landscape architecture. Contemporaneity he also dealt with the fields of theatre (settings, sculptures and objects for plays by Shakespeare, Aristofane, Artaud, etc) and successionally in furnishings for ship-building. He collaborated with important firms as well.

Hov's architectural research has always moved beyond any restricted disciplinary field. Many projects are developed free of any models and possessing a particular feature: they are drastic. A way through pure and abstract project attitude, towards unusual bends in the field of architecture without any fear of esthetical or rule breaking.
