[Thu. 30 Jan.]Architectural Informatics Guest Lecture 16:Marios Tsiliakos
Design Computation in Practice
Marios Tsiliakos,Partner, Design Systems Analyst,
Foster+Partners
Date and time: January 30 (Thursday), 2025 17:30~18:30
Venue: HASEKO KUMA HALL, Faculty of Engineering Building 11 map
Host: Yasushi Ikeda Architectural Informatics Research Lab.
Design Computation nowadays extends beyond the realm of architectural geometry. In his lecture, Marios will showcase how the Applied R+D team at Foster + Partners leverages technology to streamline the design process for the AECO industry. Through a journey in time, Marios will show how said technologies have evolved over the years and demonstrate how the current research initiatives within the group on High Performance and GPU Computing, Digital Twins, and Machine Learning amongst others, can pave the way to a new era in streamlining architectural solutions. Real-world case studies will further highlight the transformative power of Applied Computation, illustrating how the Applied R+D sets new standards in architectural design and problem-solving.
Marios is a Partner at the Applied R+D team at Foster+Partners, pushing the boundaries of applied computation and problem solving within the architecture, engineering, construction, and operation (AECO) space. Specializing in complex geometry, performance driven design, and interoperability he leads the development of Hermes, Foster+Partners’ in-house data exchange tool, enabling real-time collaboration across applications, machines, and locations, streamlining the design cycles and connecting stakeholders.
Being part of Foster+Partners for more than a decade Marios has worked on various projects of different scales and program. Notable examples include the Al Sa’ad Plaza Towers in Lusail, Qatar, the Sydney Metro extension and the China Merchants Bank HQ in Shenzhen.
In addition to his professional career, Marios is a lecturer at the Bartlett School of Architecture, UCL. There, he explores the transformation of the traditional service-based AEC industry into a comprehensive End-to-End architectural products. With teaching experience gained across several institutions – namely the Architectural Association School of Architecture and University of Innsbruck, Marios’ research contributions on computational design have achieved widespread recognition.
