Daniel Cardoso Llach
Daniel Cardoso Llach is an Associate Professor in the School of Architecture at Carnegie Mellon University, where he chairs the Master of Science in Computational Design and co-directs CodeLab. His research examines questions of automation in design, the politics of representation and participation in software, and the development of new methods to understand design as a socio-technical phenomenon. He is the author of the book Builders of the Vision: Software and the Imagination of Design (Routledge 2015), and of numerous articles in journals including Design Issues, Leonardo, Architectural Research Quarterly (ARQ), Nexus, Digital Creativity, and Thresholds, among others, and in edited collections including The Active Image: Architecture and Engineering in the Age of Modeling (Springer 2017) and DigitalSTS: A Handbook and a Fieldguide (Princeton 2019). His research has been supported by the Graham Foundation for Advanced Studies in the Fine Arts, the Canada Social Science and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC), the Pennsylvania Agency for Economic Development, among others. He holds a Bachelor of Architecture from Universidad de los Andes, Bogotá, and a PhD and MS (with honors) in Architecture: Design and Computation from MIT. He has also been a research fellow at Leuphana (MECS), Germany, and a visiting scholar at the University of Cambridge, UK.

Book Launch at STUDIO for Creative Inquiry
Please join us at the Frank-Ratchye STUDIO for Creative Inquiry on September 27th for the launch of Designing the Computational Image, Imagining Computational Design, a new book visually exploring the formative period and contemporary interplay of design and computation. Many of the book’s contributors will participate in-person or on-screen. Authors and editors Daniel Cardoso Llach and Theodora Vardouli will present the book, which documents a series of exhibitions and conversations featuring computational design pioneers as well as contemporary practitioners, and includes over a dozen essays by architecture, art, and media scholars.
