I am Martina Bertoncini, 

​

architect graduated in Politecnico di Torino in 2017 with a master thesis in Building Physics titled “From Zero Energy and Emissions Building toward Zero Energy and Emission District: enlarging the scale to achieve a low carbon future.” 

After the University I started working as architect in some offices and, at the same time, I would continuing my studies firstly with a course in energy management and energy system and then, with a Master Course in the School of Sustainability (by M. Cucinella) dealing with sustainable design and principles with a practice based research approach that aims to enlarge boundaries of architecture in an holistic way.

​

My interest in sustainable design has grown up since first university studies and it addresses my choices since the decision to apply at School of Sustainability. There I had the possibility to understand the amplitude of the architectural practice researching implications projects have on multiple aspects of the society, the economy, the environment... Thanks to that I learned how make process and projects sustainable and innovative from different perspectives while the research based approach helped me to find connections and relationships between architecture and others sectors. In a new way of design buildings taking into account local features and world trends at the same time merging causes and effect.

​

The attention on buildings impacts and their social-economic-environmental effectiveness is the core of my design with the attention at the architectural quality and users comfort. It represents the aspect I am more interested in and the sector in which I would like to work and research.
