Senior🎓
Top SchoolVictor Calixto is a multidisciplinary research fellow and algorithmic designer with nine years of experience at the intersection of architecture, computational design and urban data science. Currently at Monash University’s Future Building Initiative, he builds open-source toolkits and data-driven frameworks—most notably MEGA-POLIS—to automate and visualise urban design workflows using OSM, point clouds, DEMs, imagery and interactive node-based dashboards. His background spans academic research (PhD from UniSA, MRes at UNICAMP), lecturing and practice in Brazil, and co-founding labs and studios that merged digital fabrication, parametric and generative design. Comfortable bridging code, design and teaching, he also produces practical tutorials translating Rhino-Grasshopper workflows into Blender-Sverchok, underscoring a rare focus on accessible open-source toolmaking for architects.
