Hybrid practice and consultancy mixing skills in conceptual and technical design
We intervene in a variety of design engineering areas; architectural design / urban planning / structural engineering / envelopes design / sustainability and performance analysis / digital fabrication / building information modeling / complex geometries / computational design
We develop research-based methodolgies, integrate them into professional workflows, promote innovation and the use of data as a new design medium
Collaborators
Alberto Comenale Pinto [engineer], Chiara Rinaldoni [architect-engineer], Alvaro Cosido [architect], Zou Congzheng [engineer], Zaheed Lokhandwala [architect], Juliette Truffert [engineer]
