Caterina Cardamone

Caterina Cardamone is a postdoctoral researcher in the Department of Histories of Art, Architecture and Visual Culture at the Faculty of Arts and Philosophy, Vrije Universiteit Brussel. Her work centers on architectural history with emphasis on Renaissance building techniques and cross-cultural exchanges between Flanders and Italy.

Her research spans Architectural History, Renaissance Architecture, History of Building Techniques, Architectural Theory, Art History, and Visual Culture. She examines architectural treatises and unpublished writings of figures like Leon Battista Alberti and Josef Frank to trace technical knowledge transmission in early modern Europe. Her fingerprint reveals strong connections to Building Techniques (74%), Technical Writing (70%), and Architectural Discourse (37%).

Recent publications demonstrate deep engagement with archival chronology, construction techniques in Renaissance writings, and architectural historiography. Her work bridges geographical divides—particularly Flemish-Italian exchanges—and analyzes how treatises shaped architectural practice across Europe. Key themes include classical tradition adaptation and material documentation in architectural theory.

Cardamone serves as co-investigator on the FWO-funded project "Flanders in Florence: Architectural Exchanges from North to South, 1400-1600" (2024-2027), securing significant research grants. She actively organizes international conferences including the RSA Conference 2024 and upcoming sessions on "Images of Flanders in Renaissance Florence" (2025), though no doctoral students are listed in current records.
