Boarin Paola
Dr Paola Boarin graduated with a Master of Science in Architecture from the Department of Architecture of the University of Ferrara, Italy, where she received also a PhD in Architectural Technology.
Paola joined the University of Auckland in 2015, where she is Senior Lecturer of Architectural Technology, Associate Dean (Teaching and Learning) and Architecture Technology and Sustainability Stream Leader.
Prior to her appointment at the University of Auckland, Paola collaborated with the University of Ferrara (Italy) as Adjunct Professor of Architectural Technology and Environmental Design and as Research Fellow. There, she was also a member of the Architettura>Energia Research Centre, a research hub focusing on building sustainability and performance, where she played a key role in its establishment and development.
Since 2011, she has been collaborating with the Green Building Council of Italy by leading the development of sustainability rating systems as Chair of the Technical Advisory Group ‘Historic Building’ and Vice-Chair of the Technical Advisory Group (Academic) ‘Materials and Resources’. This collaboration resulted in the development of the first and only rating tool assessing the level of sustainability of conservation-related interventions on historic buildings worldwide, i.e. GBC Historic Building®.
Her research addresses the links between architecture, technology and environment, with a focus on adaptive reuse, sustainable design, post-occupancy evaluation and performance assessment of buildings, for both new and existing buildings, also with heritage significance. Paola has extensively worked on sustainable adaptation and energy retrofit of existing and heritage buildings, on the sustainable regeneration of historic villages and on the development of environmental sustainability assessment tools, particularly for preservation-related interventions on pre-industrial buildings.
