Summary

Senior🎓
Top SchoolDaniel Llach is an Associate Professor of Architecture and chair of Carnegie Mellon’s graduate Computational Design program, directing CodeLab where he leads interdisciplinary research at the intersection of design, computation, and media. With a PhD and SMArchS from MIT and over a decade in academia and industry, he combines historical scholarship—authoring Builders of the Vision—with hands-on computational practice for firms like Gehry Technologies and KPF. His work spans theoretical books and curated exhibitions to funded experimental projects supported by the Graham Foundation, SSHRC, Autodesk, and Google, reflecting a rare blend of critical history and applied tool-building. He has taught and built curricula internationally, consulted on high-profile architectural projects, and practiced as a licensed architect in Bogotá. Currently an Alexander von Humboldt research fellow in Germany, he often frames contemporary computational design through archival and institutional histories rather than purely technical narratives.
