Dr. Coscarelli's research examines spatial design through the lens of modernism's crisis in Mediterranean contexts, focusing on phenomenological aesthetics and critical regionalism. Her work analyzes how GATCPAC shaped Catalan architectural thought and investigates subjectivation of place in healthcare and educational environments. She explores industrial architecture's influence on post-war interior design while documenting Mediterranean critical regionalism's methodological frameworks.
Recent publications (2020-2024) consistently address GATCPAC's legacy, Catalan architectural heritage, and Mediterranean critical regionalism through case studies like Republican-era schools, sanatoriums, and commercial spaces. Her scholarship bridges architectural history, phenomenological theory, and cultural studies, revealing how regional identity manifests in spatial design across Spain's modern movement.
She supervises undergraduate and master's theses while securing competitive research funding including a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions Staff Exchange (2022-2025) on intersectional pedagogies and Ministry of Economic Affairs projects (2015-2018). Her collaborative work spans EU networks and Catalan government-funded initiatives like Arquinfad-FAD's 'Arquinset Històric'.
As an active member of GRETDA research group (2021-2026), she contributes to aesthetics and design theory scholarship while collaborating with GRACMON at University of Barcelona. Her international research engagements include Columbia University (2010) and University of Buenos Aires (2023) where she studied Argentinean architectural archives.
