Sofia Boarino

Sofia Boarino is an architect, researcher, and sound artist exploring the relationship between sound, space, and perception. Her interdisciplinary work bridges architecture, neuroscience, lighting, and acoustic research, focusing on how resonance and multisensory design can influence human experience and well-being. After earning her Master’s degree at the Accademia di Architettura in Mendrisio with a thesis on architecture and music, she developed award-winning and internationally exhibited projects, including Sound Greenfall, currently on view at the 19th International Architecture Exhibition of La Biennale di Venezia. Boarino has collaborated internationally with various architecture and art studios, including TEN Studio. She was a fellow at Madworkshop (L.A.), and is an active lecturer (ETH Zurich, Ca’ Foscari University, among others) and contributor to ANFA – The Academy of Neuroscience for Architecture. She is currently a resident at the Bauhaus Lab in Dessau and will begin her PhD at UCL – University College London in October 2025, where she will investigate sound and light in neuroaesthetic spatial design. Her practice spans installations, performances, and writing, aiming to create environments that foster perceptual clarity, emotional resonance, and new models of care.
