About the Authors

Enrique Ramos Melgar is an architect specializing in computational design. His research interests include natural interaction, physics-based generative design, and their impact on architecture. He is co-founder of esc-studio, an architecture and computational design practice based in London and an Adjunct Professor at McGill School of Architecture in Montreal.

Enrique previously worked at leading international architecture firms. He was an associate at Foster+Partners in London and an on-site architect at Ateliers Jean Nouvel in Paris. His interest in computing started while working on complex architecture projects and hasn't withered since.

Enrique studied architecture at Seville University and the Ecole d'Architecture de Strasbourg. He holds a Master of Science in Adaptive Architecture and Computation from the Bartlett, UCL.

Ciriaco Castro Díez is an architect with a special interest in new technologies and programming. His research focuses on human-robotic interaction and architecture design, examining methods of interaction and the use of robotics in architecture. He is co-founder of esc-studio together with Enrique Ramos and Silvia Polito. He teaches at MIATD Master program at Seville University and has been collaborating in physical computing workshops at the Bartlett, UCL.

He has worked for Foster+Partners and Amanda Levete Architects, and he has been involved in high-profile international projects and research groups on parametric design, programming, and sustainability issues.

Ciriaco studied architecture at Seville University and ETSA Valles (Barcelona) and holds a Master of Science in Adaptive Architecture and Computation from the Bartlett, UCL.

Przemek Jaworski is an architect and computational designer. Since 2011, he is also the owner of Jawor Design Studio, a small consultancy dealing with computational techniques in architecture. He teaches parametric design and computation at Wroclaw University of Technology, Poland. He worked as a member of the Specialist Modeling Group at Foster+Partners from 2006 to 2010. He graduated from Bartlett, UCL (Adaptive Architecture and Computation Msc) and Wroclaw University of Technology (MSc in Architecture and Urban Planning). His interests include semi-intelligent and self-organizing systems, real-time interactive simulations, and physical computing. Currently he is heavily involved in research on digital fabrication techniques.
