My wife just applied for a interactive design manager (I think) job at LEGO. If she gets that I can relax and just do what I want :)
I am hoping to do a didactic PhD on workshop based teaching in architecture. Basically I want to build bridge between material knowledge/studies, manufacturing and architectural design. There's a new building code happening in Denmark from 2023 and there will be much more focus on LCAs and there will be requirements to reuse building materials in the industry. This leaves a lot of architecture offices in situations where they don't actually know what to do. I am hoping to research in how we can teach more practical skills and have more material understanding so we can repurpose materials or build/design for reuse and disassembly to a higher degree. I am currently interested in Bricolage as a principle for developing teaching methods and looking at workshops as teaching spaces.

Such a cool topic, I was just talking to parent at pre-school who draws schools and pre-schools, about how I would really like the evaluating of materials side of things. Also helping with making the industry make sustainable choices is sure to set you up a couple of notches on the karmic wheel. Also possibilities of working at Lego, hope she get's it!

Would love to read that essay
And your thesis sounds like a good idea

For sure the contract situation is not great. But I'm still thinking to pursue it after my PhD. It's more rewarding in some ways than consultancy... Obviously the reward is not financial! Helps to have a partner with a more reliable job.
