Guido Robazza
Member and Senior Advisor on Public Space
Guido Robazza is an architect passionate about cities. He is an Associate Professor of Urban Studies and Architecture at the Portsmouth School of Architecture, Art and Design. Guido’s research focuses on temporary urbanism and city-making. He coordinates an Urban Living Lab that promotes temporary urban practices to enable civic participation in the co-production of public space. Guido’s expertise is in both teaching and practising architecture. Throughout his career, he investigated urban transformation processes through a multidisciplinary approach (spatial, economic, social, environmental and political). Prior to his current position, Guido worked as a researcher at LSE Cities – Urban Age, where he developed an expertise on the techniques of quantitative and qualitative urban analysis, with a strong emphasis on methodologies of visual representation of complex systems of data. During his career in practice and as director of NoWall Architecture, an architecture practice based in London and Bogotá, Guido designed projects in both the private and public sectors, including urban regeneration projects, public spaces, parks and hybrid buildings, taking part regularly in architectural and urban design competitions. His work was exhibited at the 10th Venice Architecture Biennale, “Cities, Architecture, Society”. He was a co-investigator in the Interreg 2 Seas project Plasticity: Resourcing Plastics from the City, which focused on developing replicable strategies to increase plastic recycling rates in urban environments. He was Co-I in the Global Challenges Research Project Building Resilient Coastal communities that integrated novel risk analysis and socio-cultural features of communities in Small Island Developing States to produce good-practice guidelines for safer design and planning. Guido’s has recently coordinated the research project DataFrames: A journey Through Global Data that is currently being exhibited at the 17th Venice Architecture Biennale, “How Will We Live Together”.
