Job description
Within all the ambitions nursed by the AUDE unit as a whole the chair ADE focuses on teaching and research with reference to the design, production and engineering of the built object. The creative tension between technical and artistic ends forms a vital impulse in architectural design, determining the expression of detail, material and structure. At the same time the resultant form of the building is hardly autonomous, it is to a large extent determined by the constructive properties, the functional requirements and scenographic possibilities of the program.
An important focus within the chair is the development of teaching and research programs specifically concerned with the 'making' of architecture: how to translate an architectural concept into a tangible building.
Spatial design forms the mainstay of architectural research; at the same time the act of designing itself forms an analytical means for research; research by design thus becomes an effective tool in the exploration, evaluation and interpretation of the spatial event. The systematic exploration of the methodological scope of research by design constitutes a cherished ambition of the chair. If architectural design and its translation into materialised architectures form the basic focus of the chair ADE, its actual priorities are to place these interests within the urgent concerns of sustainable design, circularity, shifting typologies and emerging technologies and materialities as 3DCP and their influence upon the built environment.
Responsibilities:
The assistant professor will contribute both to the teaching, the research and the organisation of the chair ADE and the AUDE Unit.
As far as teaching is concerned the successful candidate will take on curricular subjects but also participate in design studio during the bachelor and master phases of the curriculum. The candidate will be expected to evaluate and renew parts of the curriculum.
With regard to research the successful candidate will be expected to initiate and contribute to the chair's ambitions with regard to research and the academic exploration of research by design. Furthermore the candidate is expected to initiate cross-over research with other Units of the faculty. The research activities will be subsumed under the research program of the Unit called 'Living Cities'. The assistant professor may be invited to participate in the various deliberative bodies of the unit, the faculty and the university.
