Tiziana Proietti

Tiziana Proietti, Ph.D., is an architect, educator and researcher. She is Assistant Professor at the C. Gibbs College of Architecture at the University of Oklahoma with joint appointments in the Departments of Architecture and Interior Design. She earned her doctorate from the Department of Architecture DiaP of the University of Rome Sapienza (Italy) in 2013 and conducted her doctoral research in collaboration with the University of Technology TUDelft (Netherlands), where she worked as a visiting Ph.D researcher.
​
The driving force behind her work is the design of spaces that resonate with human perceptive and sensorial aptitudes. Over the years, she has cultivated drawing as a daily practice to aid in exploring these research topics. Like written essays, she uses drawings as tools to disseminate her ideas and allow thoughts to germinate.
​
Her practice is infused with a great zeal and interest in design for senses that connect architecture with neuroscience, the anthropology of senses, phenomenology, and cognitive psychology. Passionate about design, she looks at architecture as an enlarged family of objects and expressions of human making meant to enrich human daily life while nurturing the senses, body and mind.
