David Correa looks at biological structures and processes as a source of insight for the development of new fabrication processes and advanced materials. He has experience implementing state of the art digital fabrication tools (robotic manipulators, 3D printers and CNC milling) to develop innovative and high-performance design solutions for industrial and architectural applications. Current projects include weather responsive shape active facade components, Bio-inspired composite materials, large scale bio-based cellulose 3D printing and advanced robotic fabrication of timber structures .
David completed his Bachelor of Architectural Sciences at Toronto Metropolitan University, his Masters of Architecture at the University of Calgary and his Doctorate of Engineering at the University of Stuttgart.
At the university of Stuttgart, David initiated and led the research field of Bio-inspired 3D Printed Programmable Material Systems at the ICD and he was program coordinator for the Integrated Technologies and Architectural Design Research (ITECH MSc)(2013-15).
David’s work has been exhibited internationally, winning over 35 architecture and product design awards.
