About Cecilia
Dr Cecilia Bischeri is a Senior Lecturer in the Architecture and Design discipline of the School of Engineering and Built Environment at Griffith University, where she also serves as Program Director for the Master of Architecture. A Senior Fellow of the Higher Education Academy (SFHEA) and a registered architect in Italy, she earned her PhD in 2011 from the Polytechnic University and a Master's Degree in Civil Architecture from the Polytechnic University of Milan (2004–2007). She received the 2011 “Young Researchers” annual scholarship and has specialized in design and its integration with urban forms since 2006. Bischeri heads the Architecture Et cetera (AEc) Lab, a practice-based research initiative she established in 2020 with Zuzana Kovar and Jessica Blair. Her academic career at Griffith includes lecturing in architecture since at least 2017, convening courses such as Research by Practice Workshop 1 (7008ENG), and coordinating student projects including contributions to the Spit Master Plan.
Bischeri's research centers on architecture, resilience—particularly in rural towns and Asia Pacific contexts—and sustainable design. Key publications include 'The architecture of resilience in rural towns' (2019, with Karine Dupre), examining architectural approaches to rural resilience; 'Learning by discovery. Future-proofing the next generation of architects through experiential learning' (2021, with Caryl Bosman); 'Southport Liminal Commons' (2019, with Carina Soleckhan); 'Examining sound insulation properties of bamboo-based composite materials' (2024, with Fan Zhang, Rongrong Yu, Tingting Liu, and Maryam Khoshbakht); and contributions to 'Integration of the sustainable development Goals (SDGs)' (2024). Professionally, she is Co-Secretary of the Australian Architecture Schools Association (AASA), served as academic lead for the external program review of Unitec's Bachelor and Master of Architecture programs, and is a jury member for the 2026 International Chapter Architecture Awards. She has also participated in organising committees for events like the Architectural Science Association (ASA) 2024 conference hosted by Griffith University.
