Several projects designed by Architecture and Vision have received international recognition.

In 2006, a prototype of the extreme environment tent, "DesertSeal" (2004), became part of the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art, New York, after being featured in SAFE: Design Takes on Risk (2005), curated by Paola Antonelli. In the same year, Chicago's Museum of Science and Industry selected Vittori and Vogler as "Modern-day Leonardos" for its Leonardo da Vinci: Man, Inventor, Genius exhibition.

In 2007, a model of the inflatable habitat "MoonBaseTwo" (2007), developed to allow long-term exploration on the Moon, was acquired for the collection of the Museum of Science and Industry, while "MarsCruiserOne" (2007), the design for a pressurized laboratory rover for the exploration of Mars, was shown at the Centre Georges Pompidou, Paris, as part of the exhibition Airs de Paris (2007).[1]
