Stefano Mori
MA
Stefano Mori's work combines traditional craft techniques with contemporary design and digital fabrication. Rooted in sustainable building practices and the use of local natural materials, his interdisciplinary approach spans architecture, making and socially engaged projects across diverse cultural contexts.
Stefano Mori completed his master's degree in architecture at the Politecnico di Milano in 2013 before moving to Austria, where he began a seven-year collaboration with Studio Anna Heringer and Lehm Ton Erde-Martin Rauch. Working at the forefront of sustainable architecture, he contributed to the development and realisation of contemporary earthen construction projects and techniques in an international context.
His interest in building with locally available natural materials began during his studies and has since informed projects in Africa, Bangladesh, India, China, Germany, Austria and Italy, many of them with a social or humanitarian focus. In 2019, he qualified as a Master Craftsman in earthen construction in Germany and was admitted to the German Chamber of Handicrafts.
Alongside his architectural practice, Mori develops interdisciplinary projects that bring together art, traditional crafts and digital manufacturing technologies.
At Mozarteum University Salzburg, he is a Senior Artist in Metal within the Design: Technology.Textile teacher education programme and contributes to the interdisciplinary Co-CreART project at the Institute for Open Arts.
