Corentin Fivet is Professor of Architecture and Structural Design at the Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) in Switzerland. He is leading the Structural Xploration Lab, whose research focuses on developing new design algorithms and construction methods, and built prototypes that pioneer the reuse of load-bearing components in new building structures. He is regularly invited for public lectures and is the author of several papers in scientific and architectural journals.

Stefana Parascho is Assistant Professor at EPFL where she founded the Lab for Creative Computation (CRCL). The lab explores digital design and construction methods, with a focus on human-robot collaborative processes and the role of humans in their interaction with digital media, be they designers, construction workers, or laypeople. The research questions established roles for humans and machines to address the current needs of the construction field of working with existing built infrastructure, irregular materials, and in uncontrolled environments. Prior to joining EPFL she was an Assistant Professor at Princeton University and received her PhD from ETH Zurich.

Christoph Gengnagel is professor for Structural Design and Engineering at the UdK Berlin and has particular expertise in the physical and digital prototyping of new structural and material systems as well as new concepts for computational design and simulation techniques. He is also one of the founders of the Design Modelling Symposium.

Nadja Gaudillière-Jami is assistant professor at the Centre for IT and Architecture (CITA) of the Royal Danish Academy, where she co-heads the Computation In Architecture master programme. A specialist of the digital in architecture, she focuses on two main research directions: the industrialisation and environmental impact of architectural robotics and the history and epistemology of the computational field in architecture. Prior to joining CITA, she has been a co-founder at XtreeE and a researcher at the ENSA Paris-Malaquais and the Digital Design Unit (TU Darmstadt).

Julian Lienhard is a structural engineer and, since 2019, Head of the Institute for Structural Design (TWE) at the University of Kassel. His work focuses on innovative and resource-efficient structures at the intersection of research, development, and practice. He co-founded the engineering and design practice studioLD (now str.ucture) and previously worked at Knippers Helbig and SL-Rasch in Stuttgart. He completed his doctorate summa cum laude at the University of Stuttgart and is internationally active as a specialist in lightweight and special structures.
