Lukáš Kurilla

He is an architect, researcher, and tutor. As an academic guest at the iA chair at ETH in Zurich, he cooperated in developing a simulation toolkit for urban design. Later, as a doctoral fellow in the Block Research Group at ETH in Zurich, he focused on structurally informed design and form and forces optimization methods in the early design phases.

In cooperation with structural engineers, he has developed an interactive structural analysis tool, Donkey – Grasshopper plugin. The goal of this tool is to help architects understand the structural behaviours of their designs and to support their decision-making during conceptual design phases.
