Gianluca Casalnuovo

Building engineer and graduate architect, living in Karlsruhe, Germany. Interests and skills in computational design, particularly in the incorporation of information as a connection between behavior programming, form organization, communication and generated influences.

Skills in programming and 3D modeling on different platforms, especially on Rhinoceros3D, Grasshopper, C#. Very interested in geometry, mathematics and all constructive-mechanical systems, especially those related to new technologies.
