Alessandro Pasero is an architect and researcher. His spatial practice moves between architecture, installation and performance.
He has been trained as an architect at Salottobuono (2021-2023) and has collaborated with several international architecture offices; he has been the lead architect for the exhibition design of Paris International Art Fair (2023 and 2024, Christ & Gantenbein).
He has been teaching assistant at the Faculty of Architecture in Genoa, Politecnico di Milano and Domus Academy. He has given guest lectures at NABA and ETSAM in Madrid. He has been studio leader at the Venice Studio organized by the Melbourne School of Architecture. He has been a resident fellow at “Domaine de Boisbuchet”.
Currently, he’s a PhD candidate at the Department of Architecture and Urban Studies of the Politecnico di Milano. His research (supported by the Triennale di Milano) investigates the use of performance as a form of architectural production in the 21st century.
