Còssima Cornadó is an architect and Associate Professor and Serra Húnter professor at the Department of Architecture Technology at the Barcelona School of Architecture (ETSAB), as well as a member of the REARQ group. She has led competitive research projects in the field of rehabilitating buildings and evaluating their safety and habitability.
She coordinates the undergraduate course “Construction IV” on building diagnosis and rehabilitation. She also coordinates the course “Techniques for the Rehabilitation of Safety Conditions” in the MBARCH-RRA master’s program and supervises master’s theses from MarqETSAB and MBARCH-RRA within the research seminar. Her research activity has provided useful contributions in assessing buildings and their possibilities for improvement.
She has directed and participated in technology transfer projects with the Barcelona City Council related to the pre-diagnosis of residential buildings in vulnerable neighborhoods, which have led to an advance in diagnostic methodologies for large built stocks. These projects have served as a starting point for the design and implementation of public preferential assistance programs for housing rehabilitation. Finally, she has served as a representative member of the UPC to the Barcelona Housing Consortium’s Social Housing Council since 2021.
