M A R C O V A N U C C I

Marco Vanucci [AA Dipl, RIBA II] is a London-based designer and researcher. In 2007 he founded OPENSYSTEMS, an architectural research and design studio that explores the emergent interdisciplinary interaction between architecture, engineering, biology and computation.

He graduated from the Architectural Association in 2004 with the project Cell System Morphologies, a research on the articulation of emerging material systems exploring novel design methodology and performances.

His understanding of architectural practice as a problem of engineering material organization focuses his research on the development of an integral and coherent design approach at the intersection of architecture, engineering and computation in the endeavor to develop generative and performative systems.

He worked for Zaha Hadid Architects where, among other projects, he has been taking part in the design of the new London Aquatic Centre for the Olympics 2012. He is currently working with Adams Kara Taylor developing his interest for non-linear system organizations investigating complex geometries and material research in the endeavor to bridge structural engineering and architecture.

He has been running design workshops and taken part to several exhibitions in Europe and North America. He's also been invited as Guest Critic at the Architectural Association, Bartlett School, Columbia University, KTH Stockholm and ESA Paris.
