Our Talks Series for 2022 begins with Dr. Simone Ferracina, Lecturer in Architectural Design/Detail at the Edinburgh School of Architecture and Landscape Architecture (ESALA) here at the University of Edinburgh, joining us for conversation. We’re very much looking forward to talking with Simone and hearing from him about his new book, Ecologies of Inception: Design Potentials on a Warming Planet. You’re welcome to join us online! Please email for a link.
Simone’s research and teaching interrogate alternative design potentials, technical platforms, and modes of architectural authorship—with a focus on reuse and repurposing. He is the author of the forthcoming monograph Ecologies of Inception: Design Potentials on a Warming Planet (Routledge 2022), and the Series Director of Œ Case Files, a Punctum Books imprint on experimental and transdisciplinary design research (2021). Simone holds a Diploma of Architect (USI AAM 2003) and a PhD in Philosophy, Art & Critical Thought (EGS 2020). His work, with Exaptive Design Office (EDO) and the Experimental Architecture Group (EAG) has been exhibited and published internationally. Prior to joining ESALA, he was a researcher in Living Architecture at Newcastle University and, for over a decade, a project manager and project architect at Richard Meier & Partners Architects in New York City, with award-winning projects in Italy, Czech Republic and Taiwan.
