Francesco Careri is an architect and a co-founder of Stalker / Osservatorio Nomade, an artistic and nomadic research group, which in 1995 started a series of walks in Rome and in various European and American cities, exploring the system of interstitial voids of the urban archipelagos.

Careri is Associate Professor in the Department of Architecture at Roma Tre University, where he explores an itinerant approach to teaching through the Civic Arts laboratory, an entirely peripatetic structured course which is conducted by walking, getting lost, wasting time and interacting in situ with the emerging phenomena of neglected urban areas.
