1. Computational, algorithmic and parametric design
This research investigates the use of algorithms, data and numerical parameters within the architectural design process. Particular attention is given to generative systems capable of producing, controlling and evaluating families of solutions, moving beyond the understanding of architecture as a static and predetermined form.
2. Artificial intelligence in architecture
This research explores the role of artificial intelligence in architectural ideation, representation, analysis and design development. It addresses both the operational potential of generative models and the theoretical, cultural and professional implications of collaboration between designers and intelligent systems.
3. Generative design and performance optimisation
This research examines design processes that integrate geometry, environmental data and performance criteria within computational systems. Through simulation and iterative procedures, these systems make it possible to generate and compare design alternatives in relation to specific architectural and environmental objectives.
4. Advanced modelling and digital fabrication
This research addresses the relationship between complex geometry, digital modelling, construction rationalisation and production. It investigates how computational processes can connect design and fabrication by translating articulated geometric systems into components, materials and manufacturing strategies.
5. Emerging technologies and architectural theory
This research critically examines the impact of digital technologies on the conception, production and experience of architecture. Particular attention is given to relationships between space, time, movement, interaction and digital media, as well as to the evolution of cultural, artistic and performative spaces.
