Our distinguished guest lecturer, Alessandra Capuano, carries out teaching and research activities as a professor and dean within the Department of Architecture and Design at Sapienza University, where she directs the laboratory “Babele. Città, Architettura, Natura.” Her work focuses on urban and landscape design and contemporary architecture, with particular attention to the city of Rome and Italian architecture. One of her main focuses is urban open spaces, which she argues are fundamental to the establishment of diverse forms of human health and modes of existence.She coordinates the University’s Large Research Project “ARCHAEOGRAB,” dedicated to sustainable mobility and the enhancement of archaeological and natural heritage in the peripheral areas of Rome. Since 2019, she has been responsible for research activities conducted for the Colosseum Archaeological Park. Within the framework of a bilateral agreement with the UNESCO Chair on Environment and Landscape at the University of Montreal, she has participated in international research workshops worldwide since 2003.

She has curated exhibitions and taken part in numerous international conferences and debates on architecture. She is the author of more than 130 publications, including books, essays, and scholarly articles.

Therefore, her presence, expertise, and research scope are of key interest to Union Nikola Tesla University, with the mutual aim of diversifying academic research and teaching processes.
