ANGI Barbara

BRIEF PROFILE Barbara Angi is Associate Professor at the DICATAM Department where she coordinates the teaching and research activities of the "Architecture & Construction" group (https://architecture-construction.unibs.it). From 2016 to 2019 she is Researcher (TDB) at the DICATAM Department. From 2008 to 2015 she is a research fellow at the University of Brescia for researches related to architectural and urban redevelopment of the built environment including the project "New design practices for sustainable redevelopment of social habitat complexes in Italy", a research project of national interest (PRIN 2009 - National coordinator: Prof. Marina Montuori), and the "Dote Ricercatore" programme of the Lombardy Region entitled "Materials, structures, sustainable and eco-compatible technologies for design, rehabilitation and building and environmental redevelopment". At the University of Trieste, she obtained her PhD in Architectural Design, with a thesis entitled "Strategies of urban survival, instructions for use", supervisor Prof. Giancarlo Carnevale. The research activity is consolidated, thanks to the participation in national projects (TEC-PROHABSO, PRIN 2009, AdESA, PRIN 2017, Framework Agreement with ALER BMC) and international projects (REA, eLUX) on the recovery of public residential heritage with specific attention to the deepening, in an adaptive key, of the relationship between the type-morphological characters of architecture and construction technology. Previous experience, together with research relationships established with public institutions in recent years (Framework Agreement with the Department of Social Policies and Personal Services of the Municipality of Brescia), has extended the field of investigation. In particular, the studies underway, also through the research programme on its own funds "From emergency shelters to transitional housing" (research fellow: Dr. Irene Peron), carry out targeted reflections on the increasingly compulsory requests to identify prototypes of housing for autonomy and social inclusion. She teaches at the Single-cycle Master's Degree in Building Engineering - Architecture. She holds the courses of Architecture and Architectural Composition + Laboratories (3rd and 4th year), supervises numerous multidisciplinary degree theses and organises the "International School for Advanced Studies" in the field of combined architectural design. She is the scientific responsible for the International Cooperation Agreement between the University of Brescia and the Universidad Nacional de Ingeniería of Lima (Peru) and the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the University of Huddersfield (UK). She is the author of national and international scientific publications including the monographs: "Architectural Recompositions, Parallelisms and Analogies" (LetteraVentidue, 2018) and "Amnesty for the Existing" (LetteraVentidue, 2016) and articles in Class A journals recognised by ANVUR including: "Amnesty for the existing building stock", (FAMagazine, 2017) and "Integrated deep renovation of existing buildings with prefabricated shell exoskeleton" (Sustainability, 2021). She is editor of volumes including: "Eutopia Urbana, la riqualificazione integrata dell'edilizia sociale" (LetteraVentidue, 2016) outcome of the PRIN 2009 research and (with Michele Roda) of the text "Learning from REA project" (LetteraVentidue, 2018) outcome of the REA project funded by Fondazione Cariplo. She participates in national and international competitions. Her projects have been exhibited at the Venice Architecture Biennale, at the Parma Architecture Festival, and selected for international awards including "The New European Bauhaus".
