Christian Friedrich is a PhD candidate at the Faculty of Architecture at Delft University of Technology, in the Netherlands. After studies of Physics and Philosophy in Berlin and completion of an architectural engineering degree at Hanzehogeschool in Groningen, he proceeded to Delft for his graduate educa- tion (MSc). There, he contributed to the educational and research of Hyperbody (Kas Oosterhuis) and Robotic Building (Henriette Bier). As architect and develop- er, he worked at the architectural office ONL and at various start-ups and initia- tives where he found his background applicable – including fields of industrial design, serious gaming, aerospace engineering and real-estate information man- agement. Christian gave lectures and workshops on interactive and parametric architecture across Europe and overseas. He is currently immersed in his PhD the- sis “Immediate Architecture - How to design, build and house near the speed of human desire”.
Adolfo Jordán is an architect from the Polytechnic University of Madrid, School of Architecture (ETSAM). He is involved with international architecture and engineering firms, working on award-winning competitions and unique project development in Europe and Asia. He is also a specialist in project man- agement. Since 2011 he is an assistant professor at the School of Architecture, Engineering and Design of the European University of Madrid, and a member of the Steelcase Chair of Educational Spaces. In 2019 he has been a visiting profes- sor at Shanghai Polytechnic University, SSPU. In his research work (PhD candidate at University of Alcalá, UAH, Madrid) he inquiries about the Analogical and Pro- to-digital Parametric Architecture.
Selenia Marinelli is an architect and PhD candidate in Architecture - Theo- ries and Design at “Sapienza” - University of Rome. She teaches in the Design Lab IV class and in Information Technology in Architecture. Theory Experiments Ap- plications (Computer Supported Design in Architecture) class held by professor Antonino Saggio. She was a member of nITro (New Information Technology Re- search Office) with whom she participated in the design of multiple prototypes and installations. She conducts research and design studies that address the in- tersection between biological and architectural systems. Her research aims at the enhancement of biological intelligence, through the direct implementation of living organisms as co-agents within design processes. Nature is investigated in order to achieve eco-symbiotic design strategies, based on co-construction prin- ciples and where architecture is the result of the combination between human, technological and biological agency. Her other research interests are related to cyber-feminist/new materialist perspective as it suggests a significative shift in the understanding of the complexity of human and non-human inter-actions and intra-actions.
