We are pleased to announce a workshop at the University of Naples Federico II for Aurora students of any background in Spring 2025. The course, organised by Anna Attademo and Marina Rigillo (Department of Architecture), includes two online lectures (25/02/2025; 11/03/2025) and a five-day Workshop in Naples (07/04/2025 – 11/04/2025).
The course focuses on developing critical capacity and specialised skills related to the intersection of environmental sustainability and design, emphasising the creation of eco-socio-technical environments that address the finite nature of natural resources. Given the challenges of climate change and resource depletion, the workshop highlights the need for inclusive, circular, and sustainable models for cities.
The workshop will study product life cycles and sectorial planning tools, exploring opportunities to include abandoned areas (waste scapes) in urban circular waste management. Participants will develop a systemic design proposal for a short paper waste supply chain, using reduce, reuse, and redesign principles, focusing on waste hubs and markets. Moreover, they will co-design and apply circular solutions in the Bagnoli neighbourhood of Naples, including a field trip and meetings with local stakeholders.
There are eight open positions open to Aurora Students of any background. To participate, you need a B.A. (or equivalent course at any Aurora University) and English proficiency.
For the application, you have to send an expression of interest and CV to anna.attademo@unina.it and marina.rigillo@unina.it.
You can apply from December 1st to December 15th, 2024 (deadline).
You will receive the notification of acceptance by December 20th.
