New Team Member

We are pleased to announce that Aurelio Todisco has joined the team as a Research Associate.  

Aurelio holds a bachelor’s degree in architecture from the University of Liechtenstein (2017) and a master’s degree in design from the Lucerne University of Applied Sciences and Arts (2020). In his master’s thesis, he explored design in a socio-political context and examined the situation of Sans-Papiers (illegal immigrants) in Switzerland as a case study. His practical final project Lucerne for All is a human-centred design project that aims to improve the living conditions of refugees in Lucerne, including Sans-Papiers. With the project Lucerne for All, Aurelio won the 2020 Master of Arts in Design Award. The award was presented jointly by Luzern Design, Swiss Design Transfer and the Lucerne University of Applied Sciences and Arts. 

Aurelio has also been working as freelance designer and illustrator for several years. In addition to producing numerous illustration projects, he planned and implemented the Pop-up Art Library Zug at the Zug Art Night on behalf of the Amt für Kultur Zug and the Bibliothek Zug. The Pop-up Art Library Zug allows visitors to borrow artworks free of charge for six months.
