Federico di Lallo graduated with honors from the University of Pescara “Gabriele D’Annunzio” in Pescara, Italy. Following research at the University of Toronto as an International Visiting Graduate Student (IVGS), he received his Ph.D. with International Title from the “Gabriele D’Annunzio” School of Advanced Studies. He has been a research fellow at the same university. In his ten years of academic activity in Italy, di Lallo has supported students in the master’s degree program in “Urban and Architectural Design Studio”; with studies focused on the evolutionary dynamics and manifestations of disuse, his research, both national and international, addresses issues of regeneration of urban contexts and fragile territories. By reading urban landscapes and vacant architecture through the lens of underutilization, abandonment, decay and neglect, dormant potential can be reimagined, using methodologies of recycling and reuse. On these same themes, he is co-supervisor of several dissertations that serve as palimpsests in a multi-scalar perspective. His professional activity is based on architectural design (public and private residential construction – social housing, design of places of worship, exhibition halls and public buildings), landscape design (landform, landscape art, gardens, environmental infrastructure) and finally urban design. In 2022, he will graduate in Civil Engineering with the environmental curriculum to enrich his coursework on current topics in the area of sustainability.
