Professor David Correa is an expert in bio-inspired architecture, including bio-materials, 4-D printing, material structures, adaptive and self-forming systems, and advanced robotic fabrication.
Prof. Correa looks into what nature has to teach us about high-performance systems and investigates methods to translate and fabricate those ideas into architectural applications. He uses biological structures and processes as a source of insight for the development of new fabrication processes and advanced materials.
This research aims at implementing state-of-the-art digital fabrication tools, including robotic manipulators, 3D printers and CNC milling, to develop innovative and high-performance design solutions for industrial and architectural applications.
