Alessandro Pasero

Alessandro Pasero is an architect and researcher living and working in Milan, Italy.
He moves on the border between architecture, research and site-specific installation. His practice deals with space as a storytelling media to investigate possible alternative narrations.
He completed his studies in architecture between Milan and Brussels and he graduated at Politecnico di Milano in 2021. He collaborates with architectural offices while being involved in research and teaching activities. His personal and collaborative work has been shown in Milan, Brussels, Labro and Rome.
He has been trained as an architect at Salottobuono (2021-2023) and has collaborated with Yellow Office, Matilde Cassani and other international practices. Currently, he’s working as the exhibition design architect of the 2023 “Paris Internationale” art fair for the office Christ & Gantenbein.
Recently, he’s being shortlisted for the Gibellina Festival by Triennale di Milano (2022) and invited to join the “Curatorial practices in the public space” round table to discuss his practice (Feb. 2023).
He is a collaborator of the research platform “Assume there is a Landscape” and a contributor of Elle Decor Italy (architecture) magazine.
On September 2023 he will present his paper “To be temporary. Learning from the Roman Summer, 1977-82” at the Italian Congress of Urban Studies and on November 2023 he will publish on the Journal of Architectural Design and History a piece titled “A spectacular city. On the 1989 Pink Floyd floating concert”. Both of this works are part of a wider ongoing project on the value of temporary and non-permanent architecture in the contemporary public spaces.
Moving across practice, academia and personal research Alessandro Pasero tries to understand what his agency – as a spatial practicer – can be today: questioning the need of building and rather working with space as a narrative device.
