Marco Assennato

Marco Assennato serves as a Lecturer in the Department of Art, Architecture and Politics (SHS - Human and Social Sciences) at the National School of Architecture Paris-Malaquais, a constituent school of PSL University, with complementary research activities at the ACS Laboratory (Architecture, Culture, Society).

His academic foundation includes a Doctorate in Architecture (2017, University of Paris-Est), Doctorate in Human Sciences (2009, University of Palermo), DEA in Philosophy (2004), and qualification as Lecturer in Philosophy (section 17, French National Council of Universities).

His interdisciplinary research examines three interconnected domains: (1) intellectual labor's evolution within cognitive economy frameworks; (2) contemporary political theory with emphasis on biopolitical mechanisms; and (3) architectural praxis across scales with critical analysis of metropolitan political-economic-cultural dynamics. This tripartite framework bridges theoretical fractures while identifying cross-disciplinary analogies in present-day contexts.

During 2018-2019, he held permanent researcher status at the ACS Laboratory, served as substitute representative for teacher-researchers at ENSA Paris-Malaquais, and instructed Contemporary Architecture courses at ESA-Paris, demonstrating active engagement in academic governance and pedagogy.
