Irene Cazzaro was born in Venice (Italy) in 1990. She is currently a PhD student in Architecture at the Alma Mater Studiorum University of Bologna. She earned a Bachelor’s Degree in Architecture and a Master’s Degree in Architecture and Urban Planning with a major in Morphology, both from the IUAV University of Venice, in 2012 and 2015 respectively. Since 2015, she has worked as a teaching assistant at IUAV, contributing to courses such as Representation of Architecture, Morphology of Artefacts, Visual Communication and Art of Glass. She has participated as a speaker in several conferences mainly concerning architecture, design, image and imagination.

Her current research interests include the representation of architecture, morphology, morphogenesis and graphic design, between theoretical knowledge and practical outcomes. As a PhD student, she is conducting research on digital 3D models of destroyed or unbuilt artefacts with a cross-disciplinary approach involving the fields of Architecture, History of Art and Archaeology. Her work mainly focuses on terminology and methodology, in an effort to set widely-accepted standards to be used in 3D visualisations, complying with principles such as integrity, reliability, sustainability and accessibility of the models.
