Manuela Triggianese is Associate Professor at the Department of Architecture. She is research coordinator of the Section Building Knowledge and master coordinator for the Group of Complex Projects. She contributes to the research of the Department of Architecture, to the transdisciplinary program of TU Delft DIMI - Future (proof) Built Environment and of TU Delft TMI - Transport & Mobility Institute. 

Graduated cum laude in Italy, she is an architect and she holds a PhD from Venice Faculty of Architecture (IUAV), participating to the international doctoral research program Villard d’Honnecourt. This is a collaboration between Delft University of Technology, IUAV, Escuela Técnica Superior de Arquitectura de Madrid and École Nationale Supérieure d'Architecture de Paris-Belleville. In 2012 she moves to the Netherlands and starts working at the architectural firm KAAN Architecten. In 2015 she works at the Beijing Technical University as  Marie Curie research fellow in the program ‘Urban Knowledge Network Asia'. From 2016 to 2018 she is postdoctoral researcher at Amsterdam Institute for Advanced Metropolitan Solutions and lecturer at TU Delft. She is member of the TU Delft vision team Mobility called Mobilisers. With its broad representation from six faculties (CEG, TPM, IDE, 3ME, AE, A&BE), the TU Delft Mobilisers explores ideas on how to create seamless mobility systems that are sustainable, resilient, affordable, inclusive, and equitable.

Her research focuses on integrated approaches in complex building design where multiple stakeholders, disciplines and data are involved. She takes the Architecture of Mobility as testing ground for the research, being 'mobility' a major driver of urban development of cities. She is the author of (international) publications and member of scientific research committees. She speaks fluently Italian, English, French and Spanish.
