Meet the instructors
Daniel Locatelli
As a kid I loved both exploring nature and fixing my RC cars. Today I bring that same curiosity and open mindset to my work, constantly figuring out how to apply technology in the AEC industry to use our natural resources more sustainably and efficiently. I'm also passionate about teaching and have led numerous workshops on Computational Design, BIM, and Digital Fabrication. My expertise spans over 10 years of experience, including work and study at renowned architecture and engineering offices and universities in Brazil, the USA, and Germany.

FAQ
What is computational design?
What is computational design?
Computational design is the use of algorithms, programming, and digital tools to create complex systems that are translated into forms. It can be applied at a variety of scales, from small products to urban planning. Computational design blurs the boundary created in the mid-18th century between design, architecture, and engineering. It allows designers to optimize for performance, sustainability, fabricability, cost, etc.
