Mind the Gaps

Elisabetta Terragni, a graduate of the Milan Polytechnic, is principal of her studio in Como (Italy) and a recently tenured faculty member at CCNY. She has taught studios and seminars at universities in Germany, Italy, Switzerland, and the U.S. Her studio seeks sensitive solutions for everyday situations and inventive transformations of industrial and obsolete sites. Her work is included in major international exhibitions, museum collections, and widely published in architecture journals.

Her research and development process involves multiple domains of expertise that come together to address pressing needs. She has crafted a number of exhibition sites from abandoned infrastructures or industrial venues. Her team’s international character and experience in devising innovative solutions to unconventional problems place it at the forefront of contemporary work in emerging domains of transdisciplinary design practice.
