Francesca De Filippi is architect and PhD, currently Associate Professor in Technological and Environmental Design of Architecture at Politecnico di Torino (Italy), where she also holds the role of Adjunct to the Vice Rector for International Affairs with a mandate for international scientific cooperation and experimental internationalization activities, and of director of the Research Centre on Habitat in the Global South. Her research interests are mainly focused on the design - at different scales - particularly in critical and vulnerable contexts with limited resources, of safer, healthier, more affordable and sustainable environments, settings and structures, including health and care systems; on the implementation of methods and technologies for frugal innovation; on the experimentation of methods and tools - also ICT based - to favour processes of social innovation, inclusion, co-design and co-production, involving and engaging communities, with particular attention to the most fragile users. These fields have been explored and experienced through international research and scientific cooperation projects, teaching activity, the participation to International Scientific Committees and along with professional work.
