Martino Tattara is a professor at the Technische Universität Darmstadt, where he leads the Institute of Design and Housing (Entwerfen und Wohnen). He previously taught at the Faculty of Architecture at KU Leuven and ETH Studio-Basel. Tattara holds degrees from the Istituto Universitario di Architettura di Venezia IUAV and the Berlage Institute in Rotterdam. His recent research focuses on the legacies of postwar housing and the transformation of the single-family home. He has recently co-edited Contested Legacies (2023, with A. Migotto) and What’s Next with Mum and Dad’s House (with F. Zanfi).
Together with Dogma, the architectural practice he has co-funded with Pier Vittorio Aureli, he has been working over the last twenty years on a research by design trajectory that focuses on domestic space and its potential for transformation. This work, made of studies and projects, has been exhibited at different international venues. The office has published Living and working (The MIT Press, winner of the DAM Architectural Book Award 2022) while the design work of the practice has been featured by El Croquis (issue 208/2021).
