Alessandra is an architect and built environment professional with two decades of international experience across complex projects (hospitality, residential, retail, masterplanning). She has reoriented her practice toward the social and ecological dimensions of urban life, believing they are central to meaningful, human-centered work. Trained in urban design with a Master’s in Human Geography, her research focuses on the built environment’s reciprocal relationship with its inhabiting communities. She founded Gluck, an urban analytics platform that uses historical street view imagery and AI to reveal neighborhood transformation, exposing social and spatial dynamics often missed by conventional practice.
Passionate about accelerating sustainable and non-toxic building materials, she works to connect emerging material innovation with complex project delivery, convinced that supply and demand must evolve together for genuine industry change. She has contributed to Urban Transcripts Journal and taught at Politecnico di Milano, driven by the conviction that the most impactful work stems from rigorous analysis, honest design, and a genuine understanding of place.
