Biography
Marco Poletto is an architect, educator, and innovator. He is co-founder and Director of ecoLogicStudio and the Photosynthetica consortium. His practice investigates the dissolving boundaries between city and nature. He has designed and built architectures, installations, and digital protocols testing human interaction with non-human systems. His theory of the Urbansphere argues that the increased spatial articulation and material integration of such systems within architecture are crucial to evolving higher forms of urban ecological intelligence. His body of work proposes a redefinition of the traditional paradigm of sustainability in the age of ubiquitous computing.Marco has been Unit Master at the Architectural Association in London, Visiting critic at Cornell University and Carnegie Mellon University, a Research Cluster leader at the Bartlett School of Architecture, and a Research Fellow at Aarhus School of Architecture. He holds a Ph.D. Degree from RMIT University, Melbourne. He is currently Visiting Lecturer at the University of Innsbruck and a Senior Tutor at the IAAC in Barcelona.Marco’s work has been published and exhibited throughout the world, more recently in Tokyo (Mori Art Museum, 2020), Paris (Centre Pompidou, 2019 and EDF Foundation, 2013), Dublin (Dublin Castle, 2018), Tallinn (bio.T.A.llinn, 2017), Astana (EXPO 2017), Karlsruhe (Globale Exhibition – ZKM Museum, 2015), Milan (EXPO 2015), in Orleans (Biennale of Architecture #1, 2017 and 9th Archilab – FRAC Collection, 2014), London (Building Centre 2018, Architectural Association, 2011 and London Biennale, 2006 and 2008), at the Venice Art and Architectural Biennales (STEM, 2006; STEMv3.0 the lagoon experiment, 2008; The Ecological Footprint Grotto, 2010; HORTUS.venice, 2015; Solana Open Aviary, 2016).Marco is co-author of “Systemic Architecture – Operating manual for the self-organizing city” published by Routledge in 2012.
