SS22 - Talk 4 D'Acunto, Conceptual Structural Design Interfacing Human & Machine Intelligence

This talk provides past and recent advances of Prof. Pierluigi D'Acunto for the conceptual design of structures at the interface between human and machine intelligence.

Pierluigi D'Acunto is Assistant Professor of Structural Design at the Department of Architecture of the Technical University of Munich. He holds a degree in Building Engineering-​Architecture from the University of Pisa (2007) and a Master of Architecture from the Architectural Association in London (2012). He completed his doctorate with distinction at ETH Zurich under the supervision of Prof. Joseph Schwartz (2018). Pierluigi's research explores the convergence of architecture and structural engineering through computational design and emerging construction technologies. His recent research developments are located in equilibrium-​based computational design and structural form-​finding assisted by machine learning, aiming to develop a design framework in which the machine actively supports the human designer from the early stages of the design process.
