Giorgia Greco

Giorgia Greco graduated with honors in Architecture from the Politecnico di Torino in 2019, defending her thesis titled “The Global City as a Domestic Space: Dwelling in Shitaya-ku and Mukodai-cho, Tokyo,” for which she received a Special Mention in Urban Planning at the Architecture Thesis Award (ATA) in 2020. During her field research, she was a visiting student at the University of Tokyo.
Starting in 2020, she worked as co-editorial director for a Swiss publishing house specializing in the production of documentary films on architecture and landscape, supported by the CNAPPC (Italian National Council of Architects, Planners, Landscape Architects, and Conservationists) and the American Institute of Architects. Leveraging her expertise in visual storytelling, she collaborated as a motion-graphic designer with the China Room research group on exhibitions including “China Goes Urban” at the MAO (2020) and the Chinese Pavilion installation at the Venice Architecture Biennale (2021).
She successfully participated in several international design competitions (as part of a team), including Europan14. She is also co-founder of a cultural association dedicated to promoting and enhancing cultural initiatives in the inland areas of Piedmont (Italy).
Giorgia Greco is currently a Junior Fellow at China Room and a PhD candidate enrolled in the joint doctoral program “Architecture. History and Project” between Politecnico di Torino and Tsinghua University, Beijing, within the curriculum “Transnational Architectural Models in a Globalized World.” Her research critically investigates interactions between human and more-than-human agents, questioning the role and agency of architecture in a post-anthropocentric context.
