ALESSANDRA CIANCHETTA\/ AWP Paris<\/strong><\/p>\n

Tuesday, March 11,\u00a07pm
\n66 5th Avenue, 6th floor, Room 603<\/p>\n

Alessandra Cianchetta is an architect, urbanist, and founding partner of AWP, Paris, the award-winning practice –an \u201cagence de reconfiguration territoriale\u201d– that works across scales and genres: from the 160 ha strategic masterplan for the Paris CBD to pavilions, landscapes, interiors, exhibitions and publications. AWP’s work is regularly presented at venues worldwide such as Maxxi, Cit\u00e9 de l\u2019Architecture and MoMA, and has been featured in NY Times, Le Monde, Wallpaper and Architese. Currently visiting critic and adjunct professor at Cornell University, Columbia University and The Berlage, Alessandra gives equal weight to the substance of building and its intangible effects, addressing sensual and perceptual experiences at\u00a0large urban scales.<\/p>\n

Current works include a 85,000 square-metre housing and mixed-use
\nsector project in Lausanne, which will transform the landscape of the city, a 70,000 square-metre public space adjoining the Grande Arche de la D\u00e9fense, including a unique series of new buildings, the masterplan of Paris\u2019 CBD, and Poissy Galore, a sequence of public buildings and follies set in a park by the Seine. Alessandra is regularly selected for\u00a0high profile invited international competitions and has curated and designed exhibitions for cultural institutions such as the City of Architecture and Heritage and Pavillon de l\u2019Arsenal in Paris, Fondazione Adriano Olivetti in Rome, and the Collegi d\u2019Arquitectes de\u00a0Catalunya, Barcelona, among others. Her publications include Nightscapes, Nocturnal Landscapes (Gustavo Gili, 2009), Alvaro Siza: Private Houses 1954\u20132004 (Skira 2004), and Park G\u00fcell (Gustavo Gili, 2002).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
