Martha Tsigkari is a Senior Partner and Head of the Applied R+D (ARD) group at Foster + Partners. Her background spans architecture, engineering, and computer science. She has two decades of experience working in projects of all scales and uses. Her work incorporates computational design, human-computer interaction, machine learning, and optimisation. She has investigated the usage of deep neural networks and genetic algorithms in the design process, aiming to solve problems ranging from passively actuated micromaterials to performance-driven urban layouts. She is also an Associate Professor at the Bartlett, UCL and has lectured and published on the subject of computational design internationally.

Oliver Thomas is a British Architect with experience working on a variety of projects around the world. After graduating from Oxford Brookes University and the University of Liverpool Oliver went onto work in London, Hong Kong and New York for world-renowned firms such as FACIT Homes, Aedas, Front and BIG. Oliver works as a BIM & Computational specialist at BIG and is responsible for the implementation of advanced workflows on a range of projects within the office. He also oversees the testing and integration of new and emerging technologies that add to the unique design process at BIG.

Shajay is an Associate Director at Zaha Hadid Architects where he co-founded and heads the Computation and Design research group (ZHACODE, 2007). He is an alumnus and a studio-master at the post-graduate course of Design Research Laboratory at the Architectural Association, London (AADRL, 2006). There he explores the intersection of video game technology, urban development and industrialized construction. Shajay pursued his scientific interests in digital design and robotic fabrication during his Doctoral studies at the Block Research Group (BRG, 2022) at the ETH, Zurich and previously as a M.Phil. graduate from University of Bath (2016).

Greg Demchak is a software designer, entrepreneur, and technology evangelist with a focus on human-computer interactions with 3D/4D digital information models of the built world. He worked extensively on the design of Revit (BIM), Synchro (4D Planning), and iTwin for Unreal Engine (Industrial Metaverse) and is currently running the Digital Innovation Lab (iLab) at Bentley Systems.

John Manoochehri is an architect and environmental scientist, with a specialization in computational design. He received his bachelor's degree from the University of Oxford, a diploma in architecture from the Royal College of Art in Stockholm, and has taught architecture, urban design planning studios and courses at the Royal Institute of Technology Architecture School in Stockholm. He previously founded an architectural design technology company, Last Meter®, focussing on designing and adapting modern residences and commercial buildings to integrate third-party services, and founded a podcast on spatial technology, Futureperfect, sponsored by Epic Games.
