Design-Tech Talk 9.0 features expert-led presentations and a dynamic discussion on the latest advancements and emerging technologies.
Speakers
Day 1, March 7th:
Day 2, March 8th:
Mathilde Marengo is an Australian – French – Italian PhD Architect. Specialised in Research and Academia, her work focuses on enabling spatial justice in cities by leveraging advanced technologies to bridge data gaps and support practitioners to make more informed decisions. She has specifically focused on the development of computer-aided methodologies for the practical implementation of ecological justice and mobility justice in urban design.
This includes integrating the needs of more than humans and environmental systems, as well as investigating drivers of urban vulnerability from an intersectional perspective through dynamic and evidence-based design processes.
She is Head of Studio Operations at External Reference, an award-winning multidisciplinary design and architecture studio based in Barcelona, Spain. The firm creates immersive and experiential spaces by blending architecture, visual arts, and digital tools, using a combination of traditional craftsmanship and advanced digital technologies like 3D printing to achieve unique and custom designs.
She was previously at the Institute for Advanced Architecture of Catalonia for over a decade, serving as Head of Studies and Director of the Urban Sciences Lab, and where she continues to teach today. Her investigation is conducted through her role in several National and EU-funded research projects, as well as being published and exhibited internationally.

Since 2018, his research and professional work have explored the intersection of computational design, digital surveying, and City Information Modeling, resulting in award-winning doctoral research and more than 25 international publications. His PhD investigated the integration of BIM, point clouds, machine learning, and urban-scale data environments.
Alongside his professional practice, Federico contributes to academic training and knowledge transfer as Lead Mentor at NovaTr and Lecturer at Politecnico di Milano (DISKILLS), teaching Grasshopper and parametric design methodologies for architecture and engineering.
Frameworks for integrating spatial justice, intersectional data, and ecological systems into urban design.
Methods for grid shell form-finding, architectural geometry, and visual structural design.
Strategies behind computational artwork, generative algorithms, and robotic fabrication.
Techniques in advanced digital craft, material innovation, and large-scale public installations.
Key insights into AI-driven engineering, parametric workflows, and complex structural systems.
