We are looking for a designer, who likes to engage in eco-social issues by the means of product design with particular attention on the fields of materials and production.

Deadline: June 8th. Find the official call here. In case you have trouble understanding the bureaucratic language and the procedure, please do not hesitate to ask for help.

At the Faculty of Design and Art of the Free University of Bolzano we will start a Master in Eco-Social Design (Glocal Design)* in the winter semester 2015/16. In this context we will open a position as a researcher and teacher with a 3-years contract (“ricercatore a tempo determinato / RTD”). You will teach in the master, and you will do design and “research by design” in projects, where design acts as a catalyst of eco-social transformations. We see product design and visual communication as a interdisciplinary catalyst of change. This involves a multitude of factors and is undoubtedly challenging. Therefore, we collaborate in multidisciplinary teams and we enjoy it.

Interested? Please get in contact with us. A PhD is a plus, but not required. More importance is given to the portfolio. Unconventional styles and autonomous thinking are appreciated. Additional competences in related fields are welcome, too, for example in design research, maker culture and technologies, engineering, environmental sciences and/or social sciences.

Modelling and digital Fabrication

The course Modeling and digital Fabrication teaches methods and instruments of 3D modelling of Rapid Prototyping and of Digital Fabrication. The experimental and kreative application of these technologies and methods in design project is important.

Transdisciplinary design projects play the central role the study model of the MA. Students are developing them with great autonomy related to the yearly theme (which could be “Food”, “Demographic Change”, “Tourism” or other broad topics). A part of the teaching in Modeling and digital Fabrication consists in the discussion of the ongoing projects from the perspective of the field. Another part are seminars and lectures.

Modelling und Digitale Fabrikation

Im Fach „Modelling und Digitale Fabrikation“ werden Methoden und Techniken des 3D-Modelling, des Rapid Prototyping und der Digitalen Fabrikation vermittelt. Zentral dabei ist die experimentelle und kreative Anwendung dieser Techniken und Methoden in Designprojekten.

Im Mittelpunkt der Lehre im Master steht die Entwicklung von transdiziplinären Designprojekten, an denen die  Studierenden arbeiten und dabei jeweils auf das übergeordnete und offen gehaltene Jahresthema Bezug nehmen (beispielsweise “Essen”, “Tourismus”, “Demografischer Wandel”, etc.). Ein Teil der Lehre im Fach “Modelling und Digitale Fabrikation” besteht aus der Diskussion der laufenden Projektarbeiten aus Sicht des Faches, ein anderer Teil aus Seminaren und Vorlesungen.

Design e fabbricazione digitale

l’insegnamento “Design e fabbricazione digitale” trasmette metodi e tecniche della modellazione 3D, del rapid-prototyping e della digital fabrication. È di grande importanza l’applicazione sperimentale e creativa di queste tecniche e metodi nei progetti di design.

Fulcro dell’insegnamento nella laurea magistrale è lo sviluppo di progetti di design transdisciplinari, ai quali lavorano gli studenti tenendo in considerazione il tema annuale preposto e di ampio respiro (ad esempio “mangiare”, “turismo”, “cambiamento demografico”). Una parte dell’insegnamento della materia “Moderazione e partecipazione” è formata dalla discussione dei lavori di progetto correnti dal punto di vista della materia, un’altra parte da seminari e lezioni.
