Beatrice Bruscoli is an architect, educator, and researcher whose work bridges theory, design, and urban history. Raised and trained in Rome, she studied architecture at both the Università degli Studi La Sapienza di Roma and The Ohio State University, cultivating a cross-cultural perspective that continues to shape her teaching and scholarship. She later earned a Ph.D. in the Theory of Architecture from the Università degli Studi di Genova, where her dissertation explored the interplay between ornament, decoration, and structure in contemporary European architecture.
Beatrice has taught extensively across Italian institutions, including La Sapienza and the Università degli Studi di Roma Tre, offering courses in Design Studio, Architectural Theory, and Urban History. Her commitment to international education is reflected in her longstanding involvement with North American programs in Italy, where she has served as faculty for Iowa State University, Ohio State University, the University of Nebraska, the University of Oklahoma, and the University of Waterloo. She has also directed several of these programs, shaping their architectural and interior design curricula.
Her architectural projects and research have been recognized, published, and exhibited internationally, including at the 2004 Venice Biennale.
Beatrice’s recent work investigates the urban morphology of Rome, with particular attention to its natural landscapes, peripheral territories, and the Tiber River Valley. Through this lens, she examines the evolving nature of public space and its role in shaping social and communal life.
