Martina Crapolicchio

Martina Crapolicchio is a Research Fellow and External Lecturer at the Department of Architecture and Design (DAD) at Politecnico di Torino, actively contributing to architectural education and research. Her academic work spans multiple courses across various academic years from 2019/2020 to 2024/2025, primarily focusing on architectural design, computational approaches, and urban design.

Her research interests center around architectural morphology, computational design methodologies, and innovative representation techniques. She explores how architectural education can be enhanced through transversal skills development, accessibility considerations, and interdisciplinary approaches that bridge theory and practice in architectural design. Her work particularly emphasizes the relationship between algorithmic processes and morphological transformations in urban contexts.

Analysis of her recent publications (2024-2025) reveals a strong focus on transitional morphologies, architectural representation, and the intersection of computational methods with traditional architectural practices. Her work demonstrates growing interest in accessibility, inclusion, and innovative pedagogical approaches in architectural education, with a particular emphasis on visual representation techniques and their role in orientation and understanding architectural concepts.

Martina is actively involved with the TRANSITIONAL MORPHOLOGIES research center within the Department of Architecture and Design, where she collaborates on projects exploring morphological paradigms in architecture and urban design. Her teaching portfolio includes significant contributions to both undergraduate and graduate level courses, particularly in architectural and urban design modules across multiple degree programs.
