Emiliano Roia

Emiliano Roia is a Senior Lecturer at the UWA Design School within the Faculty of Architecture, Landscape & Visual Arts at The University of Western Australia. He co-founded MORQ* in 2001 with Matteo Monteduro and Andrea Quagliola, a firm engaged in architectural and design projects across residential, commercial, and cultural sectors. His academic roles include studio coordinator positions at institutions like the University of Roma “La Sapienza” and the European Institute of Design (IED), Italy. Roia’s work emphasizes architectural design and practice, with a focus on innovative residential and commercial projects in Italy and Western Australia.

Research interests span architectural design methodologies, sustainability in construction, and the integration of creative practices with academic instruction. His built works include numerous residential projects (e.g., KARRI House, CASA DEL SOL) and commercial spaces (e.g., HOTEL NORD NUOVA ROMA Meeting Center).

Recent research outputs include peer-reviewed design projects like the National Memorial for Victims and Survivors of Institutional Child Sexual Abuse (2023) and the Park House (2025). No scientific awards are explicitly mentioned, though his contributions to architectural education and practice are notable. Roia has advised students through his academic roles and collaborated with institutions on design coordination and project leadership.

MORQ* remains central to his professional activities, producing built works that blend functional design with artistic vision across diverse geographical contexts.
