Marjan Colletti

Marjan Colletti is a Professor of Architecture and Post Digital Practice at The Bartlett School of Architecture, University College London. She is renowned for her work at the intersection of digital technologies and sustainable architectural design, with a focus on robotic fabrication, material innovation, and computational aesthetics.

• Doctor of Philosophy, University College London (2008)
• Master of Architecture, University College London (1999)
• Staatsexamen, Università Iuav di Venezia (1999)
• Dottore, Università Iuav di Venezia (1998)
• Diplom-Ingenieur, Universität Innsbruck (1997)
• Diploma di Maturità Classica, Liceo Classico (1991)

Her research explores postdigital architecture, blending computational design with physical materiality to create innovative, adaptive structures. Projects like Robotic FOAMing and Terrestrial Reef demonstrate her interest in merging digital fabrication with ecological principles.

Colletti’s publications span topics like neobaroque aesthetics, 3D printing, and topological interlocking assemblies. A recurring theme is the investigation of complexity and robustness in robotic fabrication processes.
