Marta Malé-Alemany is a doctor in architecture, researcher and curator specialized in the relationship and integration between design and digital production technologies.

Focus

Her work methodology integrates research and experimentation on materials, the development of special custom software and/or hardware for fabrication, and the use of digital manufacturing processes present in the industry. Her focus is innovating industrial design and construction with novel material solutions and building processes, to expand their creative possibilities and address today’s global challenges.

In practice, she has applied this approach in architectural interiors, large-scale installations and building applications. In academia, she accumulates a wide experience teaching advanced design studios and seminars in US and European architectural schools (UCLA Los Angeles, SCIArc Los Angeles, UPENN Philadelphia, MIT Boston, AA London, IAAC Barcelona and other), where she founded and directed several Master and Post-graduate programs.

Associate professor

Currently, Marta is Associate professor in Digital Production at the Faculty of Technology of the Amsterdam University of Applied Sciences. Within this position, Marta guides the implementation of digital production for research and education, seeking solutions that contribute to the circular economy of the city.

Diplomas

Marta graduated from ETSAB-UPC (Barcelona 1996), holds a Master Degree in Advanced Architectural Design from Columbia University (New York, 1997), and a PhD from ESTAB-UPC (Barcelona, 2016). Her doctoral thesis explores the potential of large-scale Additive Manufacturing technologies to innovate design and building construction.
