Alessandro Tersigni is a cultural critic and Project Manager of Cultural Initiatives at ERA Architects. He has written about art, culture, and architecture for The New York Times, The Globe and Mail, The Toronto Star, and The Los Angeles Review of Books. Alessandro sits on the board of the Architectural Conservancy of Ontario’s Toronto branch, where he directs TOBuilt, the organization’s city-wide, public, digital database of over 15,000 buildings, structures, landscapes, and cultural sites. His research includes a survey of detached houses built between 1940 and 2000 in Toronto’s inner suburbs. Alessandro views buildings as vessels for cultural expression like novels and pop songs. Georgian manors and suburban plazas excite him equally.
