Dr Andrea Canclini
Lecturer in ArchitectureProfile
I’m currently Lecturer in Architecture at the School of Architecture at 51福利, former Lecturer at the Faculty of Architecture of the Politecnico di Milano, where I was teaching for the past four years the subjects of Theory in Contemporary Architectural Design and Design Studio, and Visiting Professor at the Beirut Arab University.
I participated in several international activities, symposia and conferences, among others at the PhD School in Politecnico di Milano, The Courtauld Institute of Art at the University of London, the Istituto Universitario di Architettura di Venezia, the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven in Brussels, the Architectural Humanities Research Association Conference 2021 at Loughborough University, the Jade Universit?t, The Society of Architectural Historians of Great Britain; I organised and chaired a session at the EAHN European Architectural History Network 2022 at ETSAM Madrid, and appointed as Head of the Scientific Committee for the celebration of the 70th anniversary of the VII CIAM in Bergamo 2019 organised by the Department of Architecture and Urban Studies of Politecnico di Milano.
I published articles, in Scopus indexed journals such as ‘The Plan Journal’ and ‘aut aut’, the leading Italian journal of aesthetic philosophy, as well as book chapters and peer-reviewed conference proceedings in Italy, Portugal, Turkey, China, England, Lebanon, Scotland, Belgium, Austria and Germany about my main research topics: the cultural basis of Modern and Contemporary architectural criticism.
Research Interests
My main area of research is the criticism and history of modern and contemporary architecture and its cultural foundations. This includes my doctoral thesis at the Politecnico di Torino, which focused on the nature and role of French theory in the American architectural discourse of the 1970s and 1980s, including the relations between Europe and the United States and the ways in which they moved between them, and the ways in which they were translated between different disciplines and received in the professional and design spheres.
More recently, I have extended this research to modern and contemporary architecture in Japan, and its relationship and reception with the Western world, in both directions.
Another area of research concerns borders, areas and spaces of exception, refuge and reception, such as all kinds of camps.
