Current vacancies
The Academy of architecture, for the project on fabrication and material aware architecture is searching for: Two PhD candidates who focus on the development of fabrication and material aware workflows. Here they will investigate the design potential of architecture built with ultra-thin formworks by leveraging recent cutting-edge technological advancements made in Digital Concrete that facilitate the design of structures using reduced construction materials.
The USI is searching highly motivated architect / engineer with an architectural or advanced technical degree and with a strong interest in computational design and digital fabrication and processing. It expects good programming skills, possibly in multiple programming languages (in particular Python), and experience in digital design workflows and/or robotic fabrication. An interest in mathematics, cutting edge technology, mechanical and structural engineering is preferable. Applicants should be fluent in English, able to take the initiative and work independently and enjoy working in an interdisciplinary research team.
