Leonardo Zuccaro Marchi

Leonardo Zuccaro Marchi started his research in Architecture during his Diploma at A.S.P. (Alta Scuola Politecnica), obtaining a double degree at both Politecnico di Milano and Politecnico di Torino (tutor: Professor Zucchi). Over the years he developed a strong liking for the urban theme concerning the “Heart of the City” - the theme of the CIAM8 - from both the historical as well as the theoretical approach. His PhD research has allowed him to re-conceptualize this organic theme of the 1950s and resulted in many valid perspectives for our contemporary urban condition. In 2011 he was Collection Research Grant Recipient at CCA in Montreal. In 2013 he obtained a double PhD from both TU Delft and IUAV (Promotors: Professors Riedijk and Viganò; Co-Promotors: Professors Avermaete and De Magistris). In 2014-15 he`s Postdoc fellow at KTH. As far as his teaching experience is concerned, he taught as tutor at the Politecnico di Milano; he`s Visiting Lecturer at TU Delft and he`s teaching also Urban Design online at UDEM, Universidad de Monterrey. Finally, both his design activity and multidisciplinary theoretical research allowed him to win the “Best 40 under 40 European Architects” awarded by the Chicago Athenaeum and the European Center in 2010. While in 2011 he was Runner-up at “Europan NL” with LAP Studio (Landscape Architecture Praxis).
