ABOUT DIEGO PINOCHET

I am an internationally awarded architect, computational design leader, and innovator. I have been a researcher and educator for over 14 years in the United States and Chile. Currently, I lead the Computational Design group at SDIC in San Francisco, where I am spearheading the integration of design and artificial intelligence to boost the future of product design and user experience. I hold a Ph.D. in Machine Learning and Robotics from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, as well as a Master of Science in Design and Computation from the same institution. His work focuses on design intelligence and interactive fabrication, using computation to amplify the creative potential of design through technology. I have developed innovative design methodologies for human-machine interaction based on gestures and artificial intelligence. He has taught at MIT and is currently a Professor at the Design Lab at UAI Chile. His work has been awarded, exhibited, and published in countries around the world, including Hong Kong, China, Japan, Austria, the United States, Italy, Argentina, Spain, and Australia.In 2015 he won the First Prize in the Youfab Global Creative Awards in Tokyo, Japan, with the project \'Making Gestures: A personal fabrication system´. He is the co founder of TFPS Architects, an chilean based architecture studio that won the ´Building of the year 2009´award for his project `Huanacu Warehouse and Offices\'. He is the co founder of escript-o (escripto.wordpress.com) a blog focused in research about digital technologies applied to architecture and design.Areas of InterestArt and Technology, Artificial Intelligence, Building Energy, Building Materials, CAD/CAM, Computation, Digital Fabrication, Education, Latin American Architecture, Machine Learning, Modern Architecture, Prototyping, Shape Grammars, Structures, Sustainability, Theory of Architecture, Visualization
