Carlos Bañón Blázquez
Bio
Carlos Bañón is an architect, computational designer, and co-founder of FORMAS.AI, an AI-native design platform built on a single thesis: Form Follows You.
His work lives at the frontier where artificial intelligence meets architectural authorship, building the interface through which a designer's intent, not just their instructions, enters the machine.
He is a tenured Associate Professor of Architecture and Sustainable Design at the Singapore University of Technology and Design (SUTD), with visiting appointments at MIT and the Architectural Association in London, and the founder of AirLab, his research practice in computational design and digital fabrication.
Bañón has earned some of the discipline's highest honors. His work AirMesh, the world's first 3D-printed stainless-steel space-frame, won Singapore's President's Design Award.
His projects have been exhibited at the Venice Architecture Biennale and nominated for the London Design Museum's Design of the Year and the Mies van der Rohe Award.
He is co-author of 3D Printing Architecture (Springer).For more than two decades his work has pursued one question: as machines learn to produce anything, how do designers keep authorship of what they mean?
