Rosario Talevi works as an architect, curator, editor and educator at the intersection of critical spatial practices, site-based pedagogy, and ethics of care.

Her practice explores architecture as a form of agency and as a form of care, in both its transformative capacity and its potential to act otherwise. Working through fieldwork, informal gatherings, and small-scale spatial gestures, projects often emerge in dialogue with places and the people who inhabit them. Much of this work unfolds collectively, through shared processes and in response to specific contexts.

Since 2025, Rosario is Associate Professor of Architecture and Urban Practice at the Bergen School of Architecture (BAS) in Norway. A graduate of the University of Buenos Aires, she has previously held teaching and research positions at TU Berlin, Berlin University of the Arts, HFBK Hamburg, the Free University of Bozen-Bolzano, and the University of Buenos Aires.

A founding member of Floating University–a natureculture learning site located in a rainwater retention basin serving the former Tempelhof airport–Rosario co-directed the organisation (2019-2022), and curated the Urban Practice programme (2020–2021) and the three editions of Climate Care (2019, 2021, 2023). The festival engaged with theory and practice at the intersection of ethics of care and environmental humanities. Today, she continues to contribute to Floating's programme and organisational work. Floating University has received the New European Bauhaus Prize, Ammodo Architecture Award and was a finalist for the EU Mies Award.

From 2016 to 2020, Rosario collaborated with raumlaborberlin on projects such as Making Futures, Urban School Ruhr,  and the Chicago Architecture Biennial.

She is also a founding member of Soft Agency. Among the projects developed collectively are Landscapes of Care Journal for Copenhagen Architecture Festival (2021) and Caring at Haus der Kulturen der Welt in Berlin (2020). She is a member of Ecologies of Care, a group of curators, artists, architects, and researchers exploring care as an ethico-political and material practice across art and cultural production.

Editorial projects include Learning and Unlearning with the Environment (Bikini Books, 2027), Making Futures (Spector Books, 2022), the Climate Care readers (Floating Press, 2019–2023), and Urban School Ruhr: Explorations in Urban Practice (dpr-Barcelona, 2017). Her writing has appeared across the Journal of Architectural Education, FKW – Journal for Gender Studies and Visual Culture, MIT Press, Routledge, Sternberg Press, Lars Müller Publishers, and e-flux architecture.

Current work engages socio-ecological transformation through the action-research project Situated Creative Practices for the Pluriverse (SIT-PLU), a multi-partner collaboration across Europe, and Toxic Dust, an artistic survey of Ostrava’s post-mining landscapes commissioned by PLATO.

A DAAD scholar and Thomas Mann Fellow, Rosario is currently in residence at the German Study Centre in Venice.

Raised in Buenos Aires, she lives in Berlin and is the single mother of Florentina (born 2003).
