UrbanaArchitettura are a collective of architects, teachers and researchers with an interest in the relation between architecture and the city via the formation, reformation, and de-structuring of institutions. We have taught at the AA, the RCA, Central Saint Martins, the Leeds School of Architecture, the Cass, the University of Cagliari, Anglia Ruskin University, and Universidad Católica del Norte. Our work and writings are published on AA Files, Domus, OASE, MONU, San Rocco, and the Funambulist. Sabrina is Marie S. Curie Fellow at KULeuven with the research project ‘Territories of Incarceration’. Sabrina and Paolo Emilio direct Casting Castaways, a Visiting School for the Architectural Association on the disused prison islands in the Mediterranean. Francesco is a researcher and senior lecturer at Anglia Ruskin University. His research investigates the space of the university as a paradigm for understanding the modern city, and he is the author of the book ‘The University as Settlement Principle. The Territorialisation of Knowledge in 1970s Italy’. Marco is PhD candidate at the University of Cagliari and visiting professor at Universidad Católica del Norte (Chile) where he led the Urbanism-Studio ‘Through the Looking Glass. Alteraciones del proyecto territorial’ whose results were presented at 16th Venice Biennale in 2018. Their research investigates the architectures of higher education.
