Tomás Echenagucia is an Associate Professor and director of the MS in Architecture – Design Technology at the University of Washington who applies computational geometry, simulation and optimization to make buildings and components more sustainable. With a PhD from Politecnico di Torino and a five-year postdoc at ETH Zürich’s Block Research Group, he bridges rigorous research in structural design, acoustics and energy performance with hands-on architectural practice across Europe and South America. He has led high-profile built research projects and pavilions—including contributions to the Venice Biennale and the NEST building—and co-develops open-source AEC tools such as the COMPAS framework. Known for translating complex numerical methods into practical design workflows, he combines academic leadership with a maker’s pedigree in prototypes and built experiments.
