BRAVE NEW ALPS, IT

Brave New Alps started out in 2005 as a collaboration between Bianca Elzenbaumer and Fabio Franz. In 2012, we registered as a cultural association in Italy in an attempt to explore what legal and organisational framework can support an eco-social design practice that wants to operate beyond the market, that is, outside the conventional client-designer framework. To do so, we also rely on practice-based research positions within Leeds Arts University and Sheffield School of Architecture.
