Guest Lecture n.2: Designing with Technology - Gennaro Senatore
Director of Research in Adaptive Structural Systems at the University of Stuttgart.
This lecture continues the guest lecture series of DES301 Professional Practice ay2025/2026, designed to connect students of architecture, industrial design, and urban planning and design with the realities of the professional environment through direct engagement with invited experts.
As second guest, GENNARO SENATORE, Director of Research in Adaptive Structural Systems at the Institute for Lightweight Structures and Conceptual Design (ILEK), University of Stuttgart, internationally recognised for his interdisciplinary work combining structural innovation, computational design, and advanced engineering research for the development of ultra-lightweight and adaptive solutions for the built environment.
In this session, he will introduce students to the changing nature of contemporary protessional practice, exploring how interdisciplinary teams can manage complexity, integrate advanced digital tools, and develop innovative strategies related to material efficiency, structural performance, and sustainability. His contribution will offer valuable insight into professional responsibility, collaboration across disciplines, and the growing role of advanced technologies within design practice.
