Research
Dr Cerulli's current research focus is around community led housing development models, shared models of living and 'alternative' and creative forms of management and procurement. Resulting research includes award winning outputs around user led housing and collective custom build as well as design and consultancy work around co-housing, community land trusts and collective models of funding such as community shares and civic crowdfunding. Cristina is also looking at this area from the angle of professional practice and scholarship.
Much of Cristina's research has a transformative aim. For instance, the Reimaging Portland Works project supported a campaign group to imagine sustainable futures for a threatened heritage building. It facilitated the process of business planning and the successful completion of the first community share issue in Sheffield, resulting in the purchase and management of the building by an Industrial Provident society formed through the project.
She is a recipient of the prestigious RIBA President's Awards for Research 2012 – Practice Based Research Category (2012) for the book A Right to Build, which was described as ‘the stuff of true architectural research’ by the Chair of the Judging Panel, Greg Penoyre of Penoyre & Prasad.
Cristina has published and presented her work across a number of outlets, from academic journals to parliamentary launches, public events and exhibitions, to reach a range of audiences. She has also led a number of national and international collaborations with other Universities and external organisations and much of her research is in conversation with other academic disciplines and with non-academic partners. Cristina been invited to speak on a number of occasions by academic and professional institutions for research, specialist and lay audiences in relation to my research, teaching and professional practice work. Invitations from international academic and cultural institutions include the Museum of Finnish Architecture, the Architecture Foundation, the Lighthouse, the University of Florence, IUAV (Venice), Politecnico di Milano, KTH in Stockholm and the Harbin Institute of Technology in China.
She has been successful in obtaining research funding from a range of bodies, including RCUK (EPSRC, AHRC), the Department of Health and the EU.
