Daniel Cardoso Llach is Associate Professor at Carnegie Mellon Architecture, where he chairs the graduate program in Computational Design and directs the CodeLab. He is the author of publications, exhibitions and technologies critically exploring the nexus of design and computation. Daniel received a Ph.D. and a M.S. in Architecture: Design and Computation from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and a B.Arch from Universidad de los Andes. In 2016 he was a visiting scholar at the University of Cambridge's Martin Centre in the UK, and a research fellow at the Institute for Advanced Study of Media Cultures of Computer Simulation in Leuphana, Germany. He has held faculty appointments at The Pennsylvania State University and Universidad de los Andes, consulted as a computational design specialist for Gehry Technologies and Kohn Pedersen Fox, among others, and practiced as a licensed architect and media designer in his native Bogotá, Colombia. Daniel's research and teaching are interdisciplinary and develop along two related threads. The first is a critical reconstruction of the interplay of design and computation during the second half of the 20th century. Organized around archival, ethnographic and curatorial research, this thread illuminates the emergence of new disciplinary and discursive configurations of design alongside postwar era research into computing and reflects critically on their repercussions on architecture and other creative disciplines.
