Ignored Technology project aims to advance innovative learning and teaching practices by integrating traditional craftsmanship with digital fabrication. The project fosters inclusion and diversity by recognizing marginalized knowledge systems and ensuring equal learning opportunities. It strengthens cross-border collaboration through transnational learning practices, interdisciplinary research, and open-access educational resources, innovating architectural education in Europe.

The project will implement transnational learning practices, lectures, mentoring and networking across Austria, Czechia, Slovakia. Activities will engage students and educators in cross-border collaboration, ensuring accessible and inclusive learning. An open-access digital platform will document methodologies, making results scalable and transferable across higher education institutions. A final symposium and public exhibitions will disseminate findings to academic and public audiences.

Results include the development of student-centered learning models integrating craft and digital techniques, fostering sustainability and inclusion in architectural education. The project will generate at three transnational learning practices, a digital repository of best practices, and a framework for integrating craft-based knowledge into learning practice. Dissemination through symposiums and exhibitions will ensure long-term impact and knowledge transfer beyond project partners.
