BIO
Christian Ubertini

An architect by training with a specialization in archaeological heritage, he has more than 25 years of international experience in fields as diverse as humanitarian aid, international cooperation, and architectural research.

Since 2006, as a member of the Swiss Humanitarian Aid Unit (SHA), he has managed several large-scale reconstruction programs in fragile contexts, notably in Sri Lanka, Myanmar, Bangladesh, and Haiti, as well as projects related to seismic risk management, particularly in Albania.

Since 2016, he has served as a consultant to the World Bank (WB) and the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB), supporting the planning and implementation of projects in several countries, including Haiti, the Dominican Republic, Belize, Suriname, Ecuador, Niger, Gabon, and Chad.

At the same time, he continues his architectural practice and, notably, is developing new models of earthquake- and hurricane-resistant schools on behalf of the Haitian Ministry of National Education and Vocational Training (MENFP), which are now being deployed throughout the country.

He is also the author of several studies and research papers on the architecture of ancient Egypt and the history of architecture. He regularly collaborates with archaeological field missions, particularly on research related to Pharaonic architecture.

Born in Château-d’Oex (Switzerland) on January 1, 1972, he lives in Montreux.
