- Profile
-
Luis is a researcher and designer based at Sheffield School of Architecture. Initially trained as an architect, Luis’ work explores the interface of digital, physical and living computation with everyday life, combining philosophical and design-based explorations.
His work is based on the conviction that design is a form of doing philosophy, and that philosophical thought is crucial in understanding and reframing the role of designers and architects in an ever changing material realm
