Personal profile
Giancarlo is a Building Engineer, Architect, and Computational Designer with an innate passion for computer graphics and a strong interest in manufacturing and production processes.Specialist in Digital Design and Digital Fabrication, Giancarlo has collaborated with several Architecture, Engineering and Design firms in Italy and abroad, as well as national organizations such as Confindustria (General Confederation of Italian Industry).He moved to Mexico in 2013, and in 2016 he started his academic career as Contract Professor in a postgraduate course (Creative Coding for Design). Since then, Giancarlo has collaborated with universities in Italy (La Sapienza - Rome, UNICA - Cagliari), Mexico (Centro de Diseño, CEDIM, UNAM, UAM, UDLAP, Iberoamericana), UK (UCL - Bartlett) and China (XJTLU). In the same year, he also started participating in international events. The outcomes have been published in conference proceedings and recently in the Journal of the International Association for Shell and Spatial Structures.In 2017 Giancarlo wrote the book Simplified Complexity, which is available in Italian, English, and Spanish.He moved back to Italy in 2020, where he continued his academic and professional activities.He finally moved to China in 2022, taking the role of Senior Associate Professor in the Architecture Department at XJTLU.His interests in geometry and computational design and his passion for teaching lay the foundation for his research in the areas of lightweight structures, procedural thinking, and digital fabrication.Giancarlo is working on different funded research projects, all under a unique research endeavour on concrete 3D printing.
