Arturo Tedeschi

Crossing Disciplines with Computational Tools and Methodologies

Computational designers are for architecture and industrial design what producers are for music. Arturo Tedeschi will show how computational methodologies - empowered by design culture - allow creative mind to cross the imposed boundaries among design, architecture, art and industry.

From footwear to transportation design, from furniture to infrastructure the lecture will be a journey over twelve years of built projects and advanced concepts with the common thread of research, style and innovation.

Guests will better understand the state of the art of computational tools and their use in different areas of industrial design and architecture. Particular focus will be done to the emergence of AI as a novel creative companion.

RSVP to receive the lecture location details.

LTU CoAD's Design x Technology Lunch and Learn Lecture Series is free and open to all. A lite lunch will be provided.
