Leonardo Nuevo Arenas, computational design director at Kinetica will make a speech at the Computational Design: NEXT 6.0 conference about the emergent technologies and fabrication process of complex geometries.He is part of the first generation of Computational Design specialists in Latin America. Leonardo started his career as an educator with the foundation of [Complex Geometry], a platform focused on the dissemination of emergent technologies applied to Architecture, Industrial Design, and Arts, with workshops and lectures in several academic forums in Mexico, Colombia, and Panamá and collaborating as a consultant for the implementation of computational design strategies and digital fabrication schemes in different design firms throughout Latin America before joining Kinetica.Since 2014 he has been in charge of building and leading Kinetica’s Computational Design team where he focuses on research, development, and implementation of algorithmic solutions for analysis, optimization, and automatization for the fabrication of complex, high profile projects for architects such as Foster + Partners, Sasaki Architects, Zaha Hadid Architects, Heatherwick Studio and ASGG.He is also in charge of Kinetica’s Advanced Robotic Manufacturing Site, working with the largest KUKA robot for architectural projects in México and Latin America. Along with his team, he is in charge of the development of hybrid fabrication methods, combining Digital and conventional Fabrication processes.
