Michele Calvano
Architect, Ph.D. in Science of Representation, a research fellow at ISPC - CNR;
specialized in mathematical and parametric modeling. He has written articles and
books on reverse modeling, shape design, digital representation of architecture
and urban space also by using BIM procedures. He has taught at the Sapienza University
of Rome, the Politecnico di Torino and the University of Camerino. He currently
teaches at the Polytechnic of Milan in the School of Design and the Academy of Arts
and New Technologies in Rome (AANT). He collaborates with companies working in the
AEC field to support them in the engineering of complex shapes.
PIO LORENZO COCCO
Architect based in Rome and Naples, founder of Cocco Architettura, a design, training,
and research studio, certified as Authorized Rhino Training Center (ARTC). In 2017
he graduated with highest rank in Architecture at the University of Naples Federico
II, experts in Computational Design applied to ancient technologies. In 2019 he
achieved the II Level Master “BIM Manager” at Politecnico di Milano, deepening the
field of Generative Design applied to BIM. Then he attained the qualification of
Authorized Rhino Trainer Mcneel. he worked as a BIM Manager and Computational Designer,
collaborating with other firms such as A>T Arturo Tedeschi, iDEAS, OFL Architecture
and Studio Kami, reaching a design philosophy oriented towards a digital and interdisciplinary
approach to design and architecture.
ALY MAGDY
Architect, Erasmus plus scholarship awarder for his masters in parametric design
at Staffordshire University in UK with collaboration of Alexandria University in
Egypt, researcher and teaching assistant at American university in Cairo. Additional
to his participation with AA Visiting School in Madrid 2013, Also he has involved
with Algoritm as an assistant to join Rome summer schools 2016 and 2017. He has
also the opportunity to introduce the parametric design to public at TedxYouth@Alexandria
in 2017.

Mona Rezk
Architect. PhD candidate at Cairo University. Had a Master’s degree, a professional diploma in Environmental planning and design from Cairo University, Post sograduate studies in “Sustainable building design for tropical climates” from Politecnico Di Milano and “Zero-Energy Design” from TU Delft. She worked as a sustainability consultant with many architectural firms in different kinds of buildings from the early stages of design till the final project, which makes her specialized in this field with over 16 years of both academic and practical experience. She worked as an assistant lecturer in the Sustainable Architecture program at Mansoura University, Nile Academy and Misr University for Science & Technology(MUST). Moreover, she was a lecturer of computational environmental design at BUE, CIC and Tanta University, besides, she organized many workshops on “Climate change adaptation in architecture” in collaboration with Eduvate Architecture, Stackoil company, Green initiative at Ain Shams University and The House of Egyptian Architecture. In addition, she has been involved with Algoritm as an assistant at Rome summer school in 2015 and 2016.
Her research work focuses on climate change, Adaptation in architecture and parametric design.
