Giaime Meloni

    Giaime Meloni is an artist with a PhD in architecture, currently living between Île-de-France and Sardinia. He uses photography as a sensitive instrument to reveal and narrate the complexity of the space we inhabit. His research has been published in various prestigious journals such as The Journal of Architecture.

    Giaime Meloni regularly participates in international conferences (FAUP, La Cambre) and has exhibited in numerous institutions including the Pavillon de l'Arsenal, Le Bal, and the Musée des Beaux-arts Le Locle. In 2015, he co-founded Atmosphériques Narratives, a research and editorial creation studio dedicated to the dissemination of architecture. From November 25 to December 15, 2024, Giaime Meloni will be featured in an exhibition at the Photolux photography festival in Lucca, Italy, with his new project Racines.

    Since 2017, Giaime Meloni has been teaching at Ensa Paris-Est, the school of architecture for cities and territories, where he focuses on the visual culture and construction of projects. In 2022, he became a tenured lecturer and teaches forms of representation.

    For 2025, the school has chosen to entrust Giaime Meloni with the curatorship of its Winter School, which will focus on the notion of the horizon, both in its physical and metaphorical dimensions.
