Organisation / Company: Free University of Bozen - Bolzano Research Field: Architecture » Design Architecture » Other Researcher Profile: First Stage Researcher (R1) Country: Italy Application Deadline: 20 Jan 2025 - 11:00 (UTC) Type of Contract: Permanent Job Status: Full-time Job Funding: Not funded by a EU programme Research Activity Description: Innovative and experimental investigations of new and traditional methods, typologies, and materials, emphasizing sustainable practices and material innovation. Special attention is given to exploring alternative production methods, open micro-production, and experimental approaches to material development, with a focus on 'growing' materials and eco-friendly applications. Additionally,



the research delves into innovative and sustainable textile design and development, including advanced textile techniques, bio-based and recycled materials, and processes that reduce environmental impact. Integration of textiles into functional design, fostering circularity, and developing new approaches to textile production that embrace sustainability from the design phase onward is emphasized. The work focuses on two areas: individual design research and subject-specific teaching within the design curriculum. J-18808-Ljbffr
