FCL -- FUTURE CITIES LABORATORY


 

Anna Gasco

 

Anna Gasco is a Senior Researcher and Project Coordinator at the Future Cities Laboratory (FCL) Singapore-ETH Centre (SEC), where she currently leads “the Grand Projet - Towards Adaptable and Liveable Urban Megaprojects” research. Chartered Part III architect in the UK and urban designer, she previously worked for renowned practices for over seven years, including KCAP and SOM, where she helped shaping visionary projects at multiple scales such as the Legacy Masterplan of the London Olympics, a strategic regional planning study in Paris and various redevelopment sites in central London, Brussels, Dublin as well as Saint Petersburg.   

 

A native Italian born in Congo, her international career is juxtaposed with research that began in 2011, when she joined FCL. In this multidisciplinary research platform, she completed her dissertation on the urbanising effects of airports in transnational contexts and at territorial scales. Through teaching design research studios at the Swiss Federal Institute for Technology (ETH Zurich), the National University of Singapore (NUS), and the Singapore University of Technology and Design (SUTD), she also investigated urban socio-spatial fragmentation, public housing and densification. After acting as post-doctoral researcher, she was appointed Project Coordinator of the Grand Projet, a research on large-scale, mixed-use, master-planned urban projects in contemporary European and Asian cities. In addition she acts as architect and urban design consultant for both private and public clients in Singapore and Europe.

 

Anna holds a PhD degree in Architecture and Urbanism from ETH Zurich, a Master degree in Urban Design from the Bartlett UCL London (dist.) and a Diploma in Architecture from St Luc Brussels (summa cum laude). Her research has been published with Routledge, the Singapore Architect and the Institute of Southeast Asian Studies. Her work has been exhibited at the Bi-City Biennale of Urbanism and Architecture in Hong Kong/Shenzhen, the Boston Society of Architects, Aedes Berlin, and the Singapore Urban Redevelopment Authority.
