Carolina Figueroa

I'm a doctoral student at ArchaID working on the intersection of Architecture, Synthetic Biology and Digital Technologies. I have a multi-disciplinary background. After completing one year in Product Design, I moved on to train as a full architect, and later studied a Master’s degree in Digital Architecture at Newcastle University. My degree dissertation, entitled Synthetic Morphology and Dynamic systems in Architecture, looks at developing a mediating artifact that accounts for biological rules of morphogenesis. My current research interests concern with the architectural immanence of morphogenesis and deals with conflicts of scale in biological systems. I'm currently involved in multiple collaborations with biologists and laboratories. I also work as a 3D artist, developing visualisation projects for a variety of clients. I have being involved in architectural projects, most notably as lead designer and manager in the renovation of Mexican Naval Academy.
