Daniela Bosia

Daniela Bosia is a Full Professor at Politecnico di Torino's Department of Architecture and Design (DAD), where she serves as academic advisor for disability/DSA integration. Her research integrates civil engineering, cultural heritage, and societal wellbeing through four key pillars: 1) Sustainable construction using agri-food waste (e.g., wool/hemp insulation), 2) Accessibility and inclusive design in healthcare/urban spaces, 3) Conservation of modern/rural architecture, and 4) Circular economy applications in building technology.

Her publications (2017-2025) demonstrate strong cross-disciplinary focus:

• Materials Innovation: 35% address circular economy solutions like stone waste composites and natural fiber insulation
• Inclusive Design: 40% explore accessibility frameworks for healthcare, heritage sites, and housing
• Heritage Conservation: 25% document 20th-century industrial techniques and rural landscape preservation

She leads significant EU/PNRR projects including:

• 3A-ITALY Spoke 2 (2023-2025): Circular economy in Italian manufacturing
• FITNESS (2014-2016): Sustainable textile insulation
• ARV Climate Positive Communities (2022-2025)

Current PhD supervisions focus on:

• Modern construction materials documentation (F. Ramirez)
• Accessible signage systems (G. Beltramino)
• Participatory design methodologies (C. Rolletto)

She coordinates three research centers: Accessibility & Heritage, Architecture for Health (AxS), and Mountain Architecture Institute.
