MICHELE CULATTI

Michele Culatti, Associate Professor of Technical (SSD ICAR / 20) at the Engineering Faculty of the eCampus Telematic University.
He graduated in Architecture in 2001 at the IUAV University of Venice, with a thesis entitled “Methodological proposal for the evaluation of infrastructure works”.
In 2009 he obtained aPhD in Structural Engineering at the Engineering Faculty of Trento, with a thesis entitled “Methodological approach for determining the conceptual quality of road infrastructure works”.
He works for the assessment of the landscape-cultural impact of buildings, mainly with reference to infrastructures, also in the UNESCO context.
For many years he has been critically observing the legislation on landscape impact, highlighting the need to revise the assessment approach based on the evolution of landscape definitions.

For many years he has been critically observing the legislation on landscape impact, highlighting the need to revise the assessment approach based on the evolution of landscape definitions.

His research activity concerns the field of the external quality of the project and of the built environment, in the construction and infrastructure sector. In determining external quality, he uses methodological approaches that focus on the landscape as a conceptual, cultural and perceptual “device”. The landscape is therefore understood not only as an objective but also as a useful tool for the study and detection of human-project-context relationships, useful to support those design choices that imply evaluation phases prescribed by law. His research field focuses on the optimization of land transformation projects.
