Alberto de Salvatierra is founder and director of the Center for Civilization and assistant professor of urbanism and data in architecture at the University of Calgary School of Architecture, Planning and Landscape (SAPL). An interdisciplinary polymath, architectural designer, and landscape urbanist, Alberto’s research and work focuses on material flows as infrastructure at the urban and civilizational scales, while also working within the broader frameworks of planetary urbanization, landscape as urbanism, and vernacular architecture. Alberto holds a Bachelor of Architecture from Cornell University and both a Master of Landscape Architecture and a Master of Design Studies in Urbanism, Landscape and Ecology from Harvard University’s Graduate School of Design.
