Università di Bologna
Rosa Grasso is a Ph.D Candidate in Architecture at University of Bologna, where she graduated in 2016 with the thesis “Progetto Appennini”. This project led her to study the abandoned system of rural houses to bring contemporary design in the internal territories.
She developed the interest in designing with the existent in relation to nowadays issues and challenges both through her architecture degree course, where she was able to have different experiences in the field such as the experimental design atelier “Lille et l’eau” led by B. Grosjean and F. Andrieux at ENSAP Lille, or the internship at Lares Restauri and at Miralles y Tagliabue, and through her own personal projects and collaboration with the activities of the Association Atelier Appennini.
Since 2018 she is carrying out her research in the field of Architecture and Water, focusing on the historical waterfronts in relation with the fluctuations in water levels to provide contemporary solution to the upcoming climate change. In particular, she is focusing on the Po river Delta area and how this “area interna” can be adapted to sea level rise through its deep relation with the water element.
