Alessandra Como is Associate Professor in Architectural and Urban Design. She studied in Naples at the university “Federico II”, where she also received a PhD in Architectural Design with a thesis dealing with the relationship between ruin and design in the work of Sir John Soane. She has worked several years at Francesco Venezia studio (Naples), then on her own and with other colleagues. She began her university career in the UK and the USA where she has taught design studio courses and history and theory courses at various architectural schools – Washington State University (U.S.A.), Architectural Association (London), Manchester School of Architecture (U.K.) - before returning to Italy at the University of Salerno.
Architecture in her teaching, research, and also design work, is seen as an interpretative act, a work of manipulation, construction of narratives, and re-design.
