Clara Ceppa

Clara Ceppa serves as an External Lecturer at the Department of Architecture and Design within the College of Architecture and Design at the Polytechnic University of Turin. She has continuously taught the Project Representation (Graphic Processing Tools and Digital Media Module) course for the Design and Communication degree program across seven consecutive academic years (2019/2020 through 2025/2026), typically delivering three course sections annually.

Her research centers on sustainable design methodologies, with dual emphases on eco-sustainable production networks and packaging systems. She investigates zero-mile resource utilization, waste valorization in manufacturing outputs, and packaging's role as a behavioral communication tool to foster conscious consumption. This work bridges environmental science with design theory, emphasizing local economic development and resource circularity.

Publication analysis reveals an evolving research trajectory from foundational material studies (2014) toward contemporary socio-behavioral applications (2025). Early work focused on production network optimization and micro-enterprise systems, while recent publications examine packaging's psychological impact on consumer sustainability practices. All publications consistently integrate environmental responsibility with practical design implementation across industrial and community contexts.
