I am an architectural researcher working for social change in everyday spaces. Focusing on the history and transformation of welfare state housing areas, my research deals with users’ everyday practices, normative frameworks for the built environment, and architectural paperwork.
Revealing techniques for combining social and technical expertise, I activate archives, documents, oral histories or other memory material that record often uncomfortable architectural histories of landscapes, buildings and structures associated with marginalisation. The challenge of dealing with pasts, presents and futures of socio-ecological transformation is complex, and I therefore link architectural history, creative practice, and ethnographic strategies to situate perspectives and needs of different actors and ressources.

Dr Manfredini is the School Director of Architecture and an Associate Professor at the School of Architecture and Planning of The University of Auckland, New Zealand; a Distinguished Professor at Shanghai University, China; an Honorary Professor at Hunan University, China; Co-Director of the Urban Design Hub of the University of Auckland, Co-Director of the Urban Design Workgroup of the City and Landscape Hub of the Association of Pacific Rim Universities – APRU, Associate Director of the Journal of Public Space, and a Registered Architect and Urban Planner. Dr Manfredini studied at Politecnico di Milano, La Sapienza University, Rome, and Technical University, Berlin. His core expertise in comparative (conjunctural) urbanism and critical architectural design focuses on the contemporary transformation of spatial production processes. Working at the intersection of architecture and urban design, his research integrates methods and practice that combine cultural approaches with digitally advanced components (eg big data analytics) in three complementary areas: (i) urban relational informatics - public space and translocal cities' for the development of transdisciplinary conjunctural and comparative studies of fundamental social infrastructure, public space and urban commons of the multiscalar and recombinant “planetary urbanisation” age; (ii) co-creative design for the collaborative production of emergent spatialities in our progressively mediatised, translocalised and transcultural society through speculative approaches and X-reality methodologies; (iii) recombinant equitable, resilient and sustainable public space and commons for the implementation of multistakeholder incremental participatory processes of urban regeneration through post-typological political ecology frameworks.
Dr Manfredini's teaching and research leadership is widely recognised. As an educator, he taught at world's leading universities entire courses (eg Tsinghua University Beijing, Milan Technical University, and The City University of New York) and single lectures (eg the University of Stuttgart, Chinese University of Hong Kong, and Parsons School of design). As a researcher, he produced a large number of publications (100+ papers), was invited as an exhibitor at major international events (eg, 2013 and 2019 Bi-City Biennale of Architecture and Urbanism in Shenzhen and Hong Kong and 2017 Rome Biennale of Public Space), and delivered keynote talks at premier international conferences (eg, 2021 ICADE, Tsinghua University, and 9th China Housing Congress). As a designer and planner, he worked on multiple scales and in different continents, and received major awards, such as the Lion, first prize, at the world's foremost architecture exhibition, the Venice Architecture Biennale. He worked for preeminent public administrations, such as Lombardy Housing Agency, and private organizations, like LVMH, Christian Dior and Kenzo. Distinctive of both his academic and professional career is his collaboration with prominent educators and designers, such as Andrea Branzi (Archizoom), Mauro Staccioli (Brera Fine Arts College, Milan), Bruno Munari and Colin Fournier (The Bartlett – UCL and Archigram).

Since high-school I had an inclination towards architecture. I studied Architecture at the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki (1975-1981) and then went to the USA for graduate studies at the California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo (1983-1985). During this time I became interested in technology and sustainability, especially in passive solar design and in computers. During my years in San Luis Obispo I became also acquainted with perceptual psychology when I chose to design a space colony using inflatable structures for my thesis. A few years later I did a Ph.D. at the University of Michigan (1989-1996) on a subject that had attracted my attention during my undergraduate studies, which was the atmosphere that was generated within certain religious buildings. I was interested in pushing the limits of architecture, to try to see what architecture can be apart from simply serving various rather mundane functions or aiming at provocative or unjustifiable form. So I began investigating the atmosphere of Byzantine churches which became the topic of my dissertation. Even though I got involved more and more with an academic environment I kept being active as an architecture professional. At the University of Michigan I was fortunate to meet Rudolf Arnheim, the foremost specialist in Gestalt Perceptual Psychology who supervised my dissertation. As a professor I served in various positions teaching architecture, history, theory and design as well as perceptual psychology and lighting at Aristotle University of Thessaloniki and the Hellenic Open University. Retired in 2024.
