Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolLuis E. Fraguada is a software developer and computational designer based in Barcelona with 14 years blending architecture, fabrication, and code to solve spatial and material problems. As a faculty member at IaaC and director of Built By Associative Data’s Barcelona office, he develops computational workflows and custom tools that bridge design research with real-world fabrication, fashion, and gastronomy. At McNeel he contributes to core open-source projects around Rhino and Rhino Compute—improving server-side geometry processing, front-end 3D visualization, and loaders for three.js—bringing production-grade error handling, caching, and API integrations to widely used tooling. His creative practice has produced experimental hardware like the Food Form 1 3D food printer and award-winning wearable tech, reflecting a rare mix of hands-on prototyping and scalable software engineering. Trained at the Architectural Association and IaaC, he pairs rigorous design research with pragmatic full-stack development to translate complex spatial data into deployable systems.
