Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolTobias Schwinn is a tenured lecturer and postdoc at the University of Stuttgart’s Institute for Computational Design and Construction, specializing in the fusion of computational design and robotic fabrication to realize built architectural prototypes. With over a decade of academic and industry experience, he previously applied parametric form-finding, rationalization and automation as a senior computation designer at Skidmore, Owings & Merrill in New York and London. Tobias combines hands-on fabrication knowledge with research-led teaching, having run international workshops and served as a studio critic at leading schools including Columbia, Harvard and the AA. His background spans European and U.S. training—from Bauhaus-Universität Weimar to an exchange at the University of Pennsylvania—giving him a transatlantic perspective on digital design workflows. Less obvious is his long-running emphasis on translating algorithmic experiments into construction-ready solutions, making him equally fluent in scripting, material logic and on-site assembly.
