Giacomo Rossi is an architect, researcher, and curator based between Switzerland and Italy. His work focuses on the relation between spatial practices, queerness, and politics, investigated through activist and archival work. Having studied at ETH Zurich and Accademia di Architettura di Mendrisio, he has practiced in firms across Europe and Asia. Aside from being a board member of Ca’Buccari, a exhibition and project space in Venice, Giacomo has collaborated on shows at CCA Montréal, Kunsthalle Zürich, and Triennale Milano, among others.
A co-founder of Unmasking Space—a student-led platform for critical pedagogies at ETH Zurich—he is exploring alternatives to the normative home from a queer perspective together with the soft resistance collective. As part of his research and activist engagement, Giacomo has lectured and organized workshops at Princeton, UPenn, Center for Architecture (NYC) and BFH Bern. A former editor of trans Magazin (gta Verlag), his work has been published by dpr_barcelona, Werk, Bauen+Wohnen, and Oz Journal.
