Malgorzata Zboinska

Associate Professor at Architectural theory and methods

Malgorzata Zboinska is an Associate Professor in Architectural Design, Digital Technology and New Media Art. She is a licensed architect, a member of the Swedish Association of Architects and the National Chamber of Architects of Poland and an editorial board member of TAD | Technology, Architecture + Design, an international peer-reviewed journal published by Taylor & Francis, advancing research and scholarship in architecture, design and building technology. Since 2019, she is also responsible for the Robotic Fabrication Laboratory as its Development Leader.

Malgorzata Zboinska’s research is based on a hybrid crossover of architecture, technology, and art. It aims to develop alternative approaches to architectural design leveraging experimental applications of new media, computer-aided architectural design (CAAD) and computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) in connection with new developments in architecture, relating to material bioinnovation, upcycling and reuse. The aim is to generate basic and applied knowledge relevant for architectural design, to support its advances within new areas, such as sustainable and circular design, digital craft and material experimentation, creative robotics, 3D printing, and digital fabrication.

Malgorzata Zboinska's research is regularly published in top-ranked scientific journals and conference proceedings, and disseminated in the media as well as industry press. Her design research prototypes and artistic research work were showcased in Europe and North America, with major exhibitions at the Tempe Center for the Arts in the USA, Dutch Design Week in the Netherlands and Färgfabriken Center for Contemporary Art and Architecture in Sweden.
