Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolGoswin Rothenthal is a Lead Computational Design Engineer and architect with 14 years of experience bridging complex façade engineering, digital construction and software development. He specializes in parametrically linking geometry, BIM and fabrication workflows—delivering bespoke models and tools that automate everything from initial geometry to 2D drawings or machine code for manufacturing. His work spans high-profile projects like Louvre Abu Dhabi, Etihad Museum Dubai and Lakhta Arch, and he has applied the same rigor to housing and modular-construction R&D at firms like Gropyus and STRABAG. A regular user of Rhino, Revit and AutoCAD, he more often reaches for F# and Python to encode assembly logic and optimize geometry to manufacturing constraints. An active contributor to the F# core and compiler ecosystem, he brings pragmatic compiler-level insight to production tooling and long-lived BIM models used on-site for progress tracking and automated reporting. Based in Vienna, he combines architectural design pedigree with hands-on systems programming to make non-regular geometries buildable and efficient.
