Ruggero Lenci (born Rome, January 7, 1955) is an Italian architect and Professor of Architectural Design at the Faculty of Civil and Industrial Engineering of the Sapienza University of Rome. ^[1]

Being the author and director of the editorial series Sustainable Architecture, ^[2] Gangemi has collaborated in the writing of entries for the Italian Enciclopedia Treccani: John M. Johansen, ^[3] I.M. Pei, ^[4] Paolo Soleri, ^[5] Bruno Zevi. ^[6] His theoretical contribution on "Evolution and architecture between science and design" ^[7] makes a parallel of scientific disciplines and design ones, from which is derived the following: "The morphogenesis of the project summarizes the history of architecture." Among his major contributions: the design of an experimental housing unit built in Favaro Veneto (Venice) following the award at the "Europan 1" competition (1989); four researches on the "Roman Architectural School" that have produced as many monographs on "Studio Passarelli" ^[8] (2006), "Pietro Barucci" ^[9] (2009), the "Casa del Girasole" by Luigi Moretti ^[10] (2012 ), the Torre Eurosky ^[11] by Franco Purini and Laura Thermes (2014); designs on the “housing unit” that produced projects (developed in 1989) in Rome, Bergamo, Bologna, Venice, Florence, Bo island - Sweden; the school projects collected in the books "Didactic and Architecture - Theses in Architectural Design" (2007), "Mutations Laurentino 38 - ontogeny and phylogeny of a Roman neighborhood" ^[12] (2011), "Sustainable Housing, genetic mutations in Tor Bella Monaca" (2019); the essay "The linguistic acquisitions of contemporary architecture between content and expression" (1989).
