TOM SVILANS
Tom Svilans is an architectural designer, design consultant, and researcher, focusing on the intersection of fabrication, materiality, and emerging technologies.Tom is currently a postdoctoral researcher at CITA (Centre for IT and Architecture) in Copenhagen, Denmark. His research focuses on digital design across the timber value chain - from forestry to construction - and methods of integrating new imaging and information-communication technologies in the design and fabrication of engineered timber elements.Tom holds a PhD from the Royal Danish Academy, as part of the EU-funded InnoChain research network. The PhD develops a digitally-augmented material practice for the design and manufacture of large-scale free-form timber structures. It is supported by close collaborations with leading Swiss timber contractor Blumer Lehmann AG and multi-disciplinary Scandinavian architecture practice White Arkitekter.

MATTHEW BARNETT HOWLAND
Matthew is Director of R&D at CSK Architects in Eton, and is a Lecturer in Architecture at the Bartlett UCL. He led on the research, design and construction of Cork House, a pilot project for an innovative solid cork construction kit with outstanding whole life performance. Cork House was shortlisted for the RIBA Stirling Prize and was the winner of the RIBA Stephen Lawrence Prize, and the associated research paper was awarded an RIBA President’s Award for Research. He has also taught diploma studios at several schools of architecture, including the Architectural Association, University of Cambridge and London Met, where he was awarded the RIBA Tutor Prize.
OLIVER WILTON
Oliver is Director of Technology and Lecturer in Environmental Design and at The Bartlett School of Architecture, UCL, where he is responsible for working with colleagues in developing, augmenting and leading the School’s strategy for technology in architecture. His research and teaching on environmental design cover diverse matters including inhabitation, material technology, environmental and energy performance, and developing new forms of construction. Oliver is also a director of architectural practice WW Studio and has over 20 years of experience working as an architect and environmental design consultant, with involvement on a range of innovative and award-winning built projects.

JACQUES ANGLADE
Avant tout admirateur des merveilles produites par la vitalité des cultures traditionnelles, comme les maisons landaises de son enfance, les temples de Kyoto, les vieux navires ou la musique de la Tarentelle, Jacques a suivi un long parcours d’apprentissage : Diplôme d’ingénieur ENSEEIHT en 1976, CAP de charpente en 1978, CEA en architecture de l’Ecole d’Architecture Tolbiac en 1987, Postgrade de l’IBOIS de l’EPFL en 1991. Pendant 4 ans, il a enseigné à l’ENSAM de Marseille Luminy: encore un moyen d’apprendre. Son objectif est de s’affranchir des limites artificielles entre architecture, ingénierie et charpente : après 14 ans de charpente et 24 d’ingénierie en solo, la création de NAO a ouvret une période de jeu à plusieurs, à la recherche de cette même synthèse.
ARETI MARKOPOULOU
Areti Markopoulou is a Greek architect, researcher and urban technologist working at the intersection between architecture and digital technologies. She is the Academic Director at IAAC in Barcelona, where she also leads the Advanced Architecture Group, a multidisciplinary research group exploring how design and science can positively impact and transform the present and future of our built spaces, the way we live and interact. Her research and practice focus on redefining the architecture of cities through an ecological and technological spectrum combining design with biotechnologies, new materials, digital fabrication and big data.
Areti is co-founder of the art/tech gallery StudioP52 and co-editor of Urban Next, a global network focused on rethinking architecture through the contemporary urban milieu. She is the project coordinator of a number of European Research funded Projects on topics including urban regeneration, circular design and construction and multidisciplinary educational models in the digital age. Areti is the founder and is currently chairing the Responsive Cities International Symposium in Barcelona while she has served as Head Curator of international exhibitions such as Future Arena and On Site Robotics (Building Barcelona Construmat 2017-19), Print Matter (In3dustry 2016), HyperCity (Shenzhen Bi-city Biennale, 2015) and MyVeryOwnCity (World Bank, BR Barcelona, 2011). Her work has been featured in exhibitions worldwide and together with Lydia Kallipoliti she has been appointed the Head Curator for the Tallinn Architecture Biennale 2022.
