Senior🎓
Top SchoolGiovanni Betti is a Berlin-based architect and academic who merges rigorous sustainability research with high-impact practice, currently holding roles as Associate Professor at GIU Berlin, Strategic Advisor for David Chipperfield Architects, and founder of A/NEWPRACTICE. With a background that includes Associate Partner at Foster + Partners and leadership of performance and sustainability teams at HENN, he translates climate-driven computational design into built projects like Masdar City and Apple Park as well as speculative installations. His work emphasizes 1.5°C-aligned carbon accountability and regenerative, low-carbon urban strategies, blending advanced modeling, material circularity, and experimental art. Notably, he co-leads The Invisible Mountain collective, which uses installations and “liquid cartography” to reframe human–glacial relationships and has shown at Venice and Sapporo. Educated at La Sapienza and Rensselaer, Betti bridges academia and practice to operationalize climate-positive technologies in real-world architecture.
