Robin joins MPDA mpda.upc.edu master's programme for a lecture on the structural use of a topology toolset.
Robin is a Postdoctoral Research Associate the University of Cambridge since 2019, working automating concrete construction. Between 2016 and 2019, Robin completed his PhD at the Laboratoire Navier at the École des Ponts in Paris and at the Block Research Group at the ETH Zürich, introducing topology finding of patterns for structural design. Prior to this, Robin graduated as a structural engineer from l’École des Ponts in 2016, following a double curriculum in structure and architecture with the architecture school of Paris-Marne. For a year, Robin also gained practice experience in the structural engineering office Bollinger + Grohmann in Frankfurt in 2014/2015. His Master’s thesis with the Block Research Group tackles the design of force patterns for funicular form finding and was exhibited at the 2016 Architecture Biennale in Venice
