Mauro Baracco, PhD, Architect, is an Associate Professor at the School of Architecture and Design of RMIT University. He is the

Deputy Dean and Head of Landscape Architecture. He was born and educated in Italy, where he practiced and taught at

Turin Polytechnic and the European Institute of Design, Milan. He moved to Melbourne in 1996, where he has been an aca-

demic at RMIT since, and a director of Baracco + Wright Architects (www.baraccowright.com). Mauro is also a member of

RMIT D_Lab – Centre for Design Practice Research. His research investigations focus on the exploration of states of integration

between open and built spaces, and natural and urban environments. These topics are explored through a design approach

that consistently investigates non-hierarchical forms of correlation between large territorial/urban scale visions and smaller

site scale interventions. Mauro’s work is widely engaged with these topics, spanning from PhD research supervision, critical re-

interpretations of modernist and late modernist architects through his course of History of the 20th Century Architecture (held

with Prof. Peter Corrigan since 1997), to publications and exhibitions documenting design research projects in urban and rural

contexts of Australia (see among others: Tree Sprawl, Consolidation and Expansion of Open Vegetated Space – Projects in

the Urban Territory of Merri Creek, Melbourne, edited by Mauro Baracco, RMIT Press, 2011; All Change, Regenerated Towns in

Regenerated Nature – Urban Case Studies in South-West Wimmera, edited by Mauro Baracco, RMIT Press, 2012,

www.rmitallchange.weebly.com; www.townsandnature.com) that have been produced in collaboration with industry part-

ners, government bodies, community and environmental organizations. Among the latter, from 2011 to 2013 Mauro has led an

international mobility project with the collaboration of 3 Australian and 3 European schools (RMIT Melbourne, UTS Sydney, QUT

Brisbane, UPC-ETSAB Barcelona, ENSA Toulouse, Turin Polytechnic) and various related industry partners and government/com-

munity organizations (Greening Australia among others), involving students and staff’s exchanges engaged in collaborative

design projects that investigated the extended topic of urban sustainability in relation to climate change. His PhD thesis on the

thought and work of Melbourne late modernist architect Robin Boyd also investigates conditions of identity between represen-

tation techniques and conceptual positions as informative of the design approach of this Australian architect strongly inclined

towards integration of open and built space. Mauro’s projects and writings have been widely published in books, journals and

magazines (Domus, Abitare, Casabella, A+U, l’Arca, Ottagono, Transition, Architecture Australia among others), exhibited

nationally and internationally (Venice Biennale, Melbourne Biennale, Storey Hall Melbourne, Spazio Opos Milan, K-Arts Gallery

Seoul among others), awarded with national and international prizes, and presented and discussed upon invitation through

conferences and symposia.

M Y A P P R O A C H + E X P E R I E N C E

I consistently advocate, teach, research and practise across the fields of architecture, landscape architecture and urban

design.

I have developed my integrated approach to design, research and teaching through my work as a practising and registered

architect since 1985, and through my various academic positions, initially in Italy (at Turin Polytechnic, and the European

Institute of Design in Milan), and then at RMIT since 1996 where I teach and research across the integrated fields of design,

history and theory of architecture.

I have developed strong leadership and management skills of staff, students and programs through my extensive teaching,

research and administrative activities at RMIT over almost 20 years, engaging respectively with the management of many

sessional and permanent staff, academic courses and programs and the initiation and coordination of research projects

leading to exhibitions, publications and collaborative events together with peer researchers as well as national and international

partner institutions, external organizations, government bodies and industry.

In my role of International Committee Member and Coordinator for International Exchange Studies within the school of

Architecture and Design at RMIT, I have also developed a strong sense of leadership and management in the internationalization

of the School, initiating many exchange agreements and collaborative research projects with current and former international

partner schools such as UPC-ETSAB Barcelona (Spain), Milan Polytechnic (Italy), Mendrisio Academy of Architecture

(Switzerland), University of Innsbruck (Austria), ESA Paris (France) among others.

I have an international profile within the Architecture profession and academic realm and am regularly invited by international

schools as a guest critic and public speaker to present my design work and research projects, as well as on the overall body

of works produced within the school – promoting our school internationally, both for further forms of international partnerships,

but also as an attractive destination for prospective Postgraduate students. I also collaborate with international journals and

architecture magazines such as Domus Magazine as an international correspondent and regularly provide public opinion

through media (SBS Australia and ABC radios among others).

My leadership in the field of architectural design research is also demonstrated by high scholarly levels in the production of

research outcomes evidenced through numerous publications, the awarding of a PhD, as well as the invitation to national and

international exhibitions and related symposia, the publication of my work in books, magazines and various media, and the

conferring of significant awards to my practice’s works.

I strongly believe in cross-disciplinary design and research activities, evidenced in the work of my practice and teaching/

research activities which consistently include the critical components of landscape and the design of open, urban and

infrastructural space in addressing the complex and contemporary issues of climate change and urbanisation. Over the

past several years I have focussed my advocacy on the impact of architecture and landscape architecture on the natural

environment and have developed working relationships with international institutions and partners, as well as Australian bodies

such as Greening Australia, Merri Creek Management Committee, West Wimmera Shire Council and Mornington Peninsula

Shire to this end.

In the role of Deputy Dean of Landscape Architecture I constantly foster a culture of multidisciplinary research and teaching,

as well as practice based research that seeks out collaborations and partnerships at both local and international level, also

strengthening the relationship with the various government bodies that are more specifically related to the discipline of

landscape architecture and urban design (AILA and PIA among others). Close levels of correlation with the Master of Urban

Design and the forthcoming Master of Disaster, Development and Design (from 2016 onwards) are strongly supported and

further encouraged in order to create more opportunities for the outstanding Landscape Architecture program to be part of

collaborative research projects, and further promote itself nationally and internationally.

The nature of my design approach, research and teaching activity as well as my management and leadership experience are

detailed in the following pages. A detailed Curriculum Vitae is detailed thereafter.

These combined events are the dissemination of studies in urban and landscape design previously undertaken through RMIT

design studios, over an on-going 3 year Europe/Australia ICI Education Cooperation Funded Program Joint Mobility Project:

‘DARC’ - Designing the New World: Developing Architectural Education in Response to Climate Change, 2011-2014 (RMIT

University was the lead Australian school of a consortium of 3 European + 3 Australian schools).

• It has been selected to be part of the Convergence collective exhibition, organized by DRI, Design Hub, Melbourne,

May 2013. A workshop/roundtable with invited experts of urban sustainability was scheduled as an ancillary event of this

collective exhibition, with the aim of strengthening and further developing partnerships with environmental organizations,

government bodies and industry, to be involved in a forthcoming ARC grant;

• It has exposed the work and research approach of RMIT School A & D internationally and nationally through workshops

that were part of the DARC International project, held in Melbourne, Barcelona, Sydney, Toulouse, Brisbane and Turin.

• It has exposed RMIT School A & D to various community groups and government bodies of the Wimmera region, Victoria,

through various exhibitions of the research outcomes (Natimuk Frinj Biennale, October 2011; exhibitions in Edenhope and

Apsley, 2014)

• Following some initial research collaborations with environmental organizations, one of these – Greening Australia – have

commissioned Baracco + Wright Architects to design the landscape and architectural spaces of their Aranda Community

Environment Centre, Canberra. This is considered the Greening Australia’s national flagship project of this type – a model

for similar future projects in Australia and internationally. A concept design has been submitted and publicly presented in

March 2012 in Canberra, with further design phases currently in the process of being implemented (from 2013-ongoing)

Through practice Mauro has worked on numerous projects including houses, schools, interiors, exhibition fit-outs, landscapes,

public, community and cultural spaces, urban design, urban design frameworks and various competition entries. His projects

have been widely published, exhibited, awarded, and presented in conferences and symposia, nationally and internationally.

In all of their commissions, Baracco + Wright have developed landscape plans integrated with and critical to the architectural

response. They consider landscape, urban design, infrastructure and architecture as mutually dependant realms of design.

They are interested in the technical and physical relationship of the small and large in the built and natural environment.

Baracco + Wright have deliberately shaped their practice to remain small, yet broad. They consider the inter-related activity

across practice, teaching and research to be mutually beneficial. These fields crossover successfully to develop insights and

approaches not typically found in research, teaching or practice.

More recently in addition to their design work, they have used these overlapping fields in commissions to study and review areas

of the Mornington Peninsula. In this role they identified and established Character and Design Statements and developed

Design Development Overlays and Guidelines for the Mornington Peninsula Shire. They employed careful analysis and review,

various techniques to communicate their findings, and developed design based solutions that encourage and facilitate good

design through Development Overlays and design guidelines.

Working across private properties to join vegetation and address the public interface.

This house is one of a pair sited on a rise, where the slope is registered by the lower house sitting above the ground, and

the higher “in” the ground. The design attempts to solve several issues through minimal and effective intervention – a new

garage in order to reclaim the site from a long driveway to a rear garage, create privacy to the front fully glazed rooms, and

to create a private deck that takes advantage of a city view. The project also joined what were two separate front gardens,

complimenting the twin houses, and creating a scale that also belongs to the street. The formal response exaggerates the

geography of the rise through its abstract hill shape, bringing the garden up to room level, while burying the garage below the

room level. The roof of the garage becomes a private deck and screen to the front rooms. Plants chosen are either native or

indigenous to the area and attract birds and butterflies.

Urban design strategy for significant waterfront landscape with industrial and heritage remnant structures.

Crib Point is a small community surrounded by significant natural environment and large remnant industrial sites.

The town is at a critical point in defining its future direction. This plan provides strategies for increasing residential density whilst

retaining and strengthening the natural environment. It carefully proposes small, site-specific pieces of landscape infrastructure

to facilitate the enjoyment, meaning and use of this historic place by both locals and visitors.

In Association with Richard Stampton Architects

An investigation of children based flexible spaces.

This new campus for an existing primary school employs connected informal and multi-use spaces reflecting the teaching

approach of the school where every activity and transition is a learning opportunity enhanced by a non-institutional (almost

domestic) setting. In capturing these qualities the design continues B+W’s interest in simple, strong and somehow elemental

building forms realised through a restricted material palette enriched through landscape. The veranda is enclosed to the south

and east in clear polycarbonate to provide large informal all weather spaces protected from prevailing winds and the busy

road. The veranda facade opens to the north providing a more intimate connection between the interior of both buildings and

the courtyard while maintaining some important summer shade. When the landscaping is fully realised, including plants inside

the greenhouse spaces, the project aims to offer playful green moments within the urban streetscape.

Flexible buildings that engage a range of users and connect to the larger landscape.

This concept design aims to create a memorable, flexible design that is closely connected to its place and landscape and

provides a range of community uses: offices, cafe, propagation spaces, seed storage, conferences spaces, and library. The

master plan connects the site to the surrounding area through an extended planting design, bike and pedestrian path, public

facilities (benches and picnic tables), revegetation, water filtration and improved public access into and across the Greening

Australia site. A system of proprietary shed frames are used to create modules that can be implemented over time, reversed and

controlled individually in terms of their access. Together they form a simple and memorable shape reminiscent of greenhouses.

Residence and revegetation, Coastal Victoria, 2013 ongoing

This holiday house is conceived as just a little more than a tent: a deck and raised platform are covered by a transparent ‘shed’,

the interior perimeter ‘veranda’ is garden space. The soil and natural ground line are maintained and carried through. A low

lying site with terrestrial orchids and lillies, flood waters seasonally move through the site unimpeded. Similarly the indigenous

vegetation has begun to grow inside. The owners like the idea that, like a tent, once unbolted, it would be as if it were never

there.

ARCHITECTURAL URBANISM: MELBOURNE/SEOULArchitectural Urbanism is an ambition and sensibility for propositions that address the context of the city within the operative scale of the small architectural project. Architectural urbanism represents a tailoring of projects to the local; to the materiality and specificity of the everyday; and to the grain and substance of the location above all else. Architectural urbanism is less about erasure and more about insertion; infill; the weaving of old and new and the dynamics that evolve from subtle and careful manipulation of the city in detail.

These hills in south western Victoria along the Barwon River are being revegetated after a century of farming. This

landscape was the client’s intended site for a new residence on a large farm. The response was to not build in this

landscape but rather reuse some existing buildings and regenerate the landscape and river’s edge.
