Alberto Bologna is an architect and a tenure-track Assistant Professor (RTDb) in Architectural Design at the Faculty of Architecture - Department of Architecture and Design (DiAP) at the Sapienza University of Rome (Italy). Alberto has a PhD in architectural history and an MSc in architecture and construction. His research is focused on design cultures that are rooted in construction principles and he investigates the relationship between form, structure, tectonics, ornament and spatial quality in contemporary architecture and engineering. From 2011 to 2015, he was a post-doc scientist at the EPFL-École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne, in Switzerland. From 2017 to 2020, he was a fixed-term Assistant Professor (RTDa) in Architectural Design at the Politecnico di Torino (Italy). Between 2018 and 2019, he was a visiting scholar at Tsinghua University in Beijing (China), where he taught design studios on exposed concrete. Alberto also worked as an Adjunct Professor in Architectural Design and Theory at the University of Genoa (2015-16), the University of Ferrara (2016-17), the Politecnico di Milano (2016-17 and 2020-21), the Politecnico di Torino (2015-17), and the SUPSI-University of Applied Sciences and Arts of Southern Switzerland (2020-21). Alberto has authored several books that investigated the relationship between architectural design and construction, including Pier Luigi Nervi negli Stati Uniti (Firenze University Press, 2013), The rhetoric of Pier Luigi Nervi. Concrete and ferrocement forms (with R. Gargiani, EPFL Press-Routledge, 2016), The resistance of Laugier. The classicism of Murcutt(LetteraVentidue, 2019), and Chinese Brutalism Today. Concrete and avant-garde architecture (ORO Editions, 2019).
