Nicola Camerlenghi
|Associate Professor
Associate Professor of Architectural History
Visiting Professor, Università Roma Tre, Summer 2023.
Professor Camerlenghi's interests include early Christian and medieval architecture with a particular focus on the city of Rome; the diffusion and cultural significance of domes in the area around the medieval Mediterranean; the interplay between nature and architecture. He is particularly invested in approaching these topics through digital tools, such as Virtual Reality, Augmented Reality, GIS Mapping, 3D Modeling, Photogrammetry and Laser Scanning.
Nick Camerlenghi teaches seminars and topic courses on medieval architecture around the Mediterranean and the department's foreign study program in Rome.
