Vittorino Belpoliti

Curriculum Vitae

Vittorino Belpoliti was born in Reggio Emilia, Italy, on 24/09/1981.

After scientific secondary studies, he was credited the Master degree in Architecture at the University of Ferrara, Italy, in July 2007, obtaining 110/110 full marks, for a final project concerning innovative technologies in energy retrofit processes.

In 2003/2004 he attended academic courses at the Aarhus School of Architecture, Denmark, being involved in the activity of the Danish Technological Institute (Taastrup, Kb).

From January to June 2006, he was visiting scholar at the University of California Berkeley, working on his dissertation and cooperating with the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory.

In 2006 he begun the academic activity as assistant professor for the courses Energy Control in Buildings and Technology of Architecture 1, at the University of Ferrara, Department of Architecture.

In 2007 he begun the academic activity as assistant professor for the course of Technology of Architecture 2, and as Academic Tutor for the Final Workshop Architecture>Energy>Environment, at the University of Ferrara, Department of Architecture.

Before graduation he has trained with major Indian architects Balkrishna Doshi in Ahmedabad, India, and has cooperated with the Museum of National History of Rekijavik, Iceland, for on-field surveying activity.

In 2007 he started the professional activity in the office of Arch. Maurizio Belpoliti, and cooperating with Eng. Giacomo Bizzarri in the field of renewable energies, in Reggio Emilia.
Ever since he has won national and international competitions regarding eco-housing design and has published several scientific papers on energy control systems in buildings.

He is currently pursuing a PhD program in Energetics at the Department of Environmental Engineering, University of Udine, Italy.
