Carlos Bausa Martinez is an architect specialised in parametric design and digital fabrication and is currently working as Environmental Design Analyst at the Specialist Modelling Group at Foster and Partners. His works links solar analysis data, ray tracing techniques and complex geometry modelling through algorithmic optimisation processes, to achieve architectural solutions that improves and control natural daylight levels inside built environments. His skills were also valued by companies such as Newtecnic, facade consultants based in London working at the service of Zaha Hadid Architects.

Earlier he became Master in Advanced Architecture at the IAAC Barcelona (Institute for Advanced Architecture of Catalonia), where he acted as a parametric design teacher. At the same time he also taught for the same school and the Institute of European Design. His professional expertise has been spread over different lectures and workshops between British and Spanish universities.

Group Leader, Heatherwick Studio

Lisa Finlay joined Heatherwick Studio in 2011. As Group Leader she is overseeing a series of projects including 1000 Trees, a 3 million sqft, mixed-use development next to Shanghai’s art district, the M50. The project includes retail, workspace, a hotel, parkland and the conservation of four historic buildings which have been integrated into the development. The first phase is under construction; due for completion in 2018.

Coal Drops Yard, a new retail quarter and public space in Kings Cross, London is also under Lisa’s supervision. She worked closely with the developer, heritage bodies and stakeholders to introduce a curving roof to stitch the historic coal drops buildings together – creating a third storey of retail and unifying heart to the site. The project is currently under construction and due for completion in 2018. Lisa founded 7N architecture practice in Edinburgh in 2009. Here she delivered two award winning projects in social housing and public realm, whilst leading large scale cultural-led regeneration projects for Scottish Enterprise, British Waterways and the Glasgow Canal Regeneration Partnership.

In 2015 the studio created the role of Group Leader to support the growth in scale and number of its projects. Working with Thomas Heatherwick, Group Leaders are responsible for leading all aspects of a portfolio of projects from concept development through to delivery. They are also part of the studio’s senior management group, guiding business strategy, planning and process.

Theodoros Dounas is an award-winning chartered architect and academic, investigating in computation and fabrication in architecture and design, with practice experience in complex buildings of all scales. He has been practising since 2004 with buildings, studies and competitions undertaken all over the world but mainly in Greece and China. He is the founding partner of the studio ‘Adventurous Architecture’. He is currently Learning Excellence Leader at the Scott Sutherland School of Architecture and the Built Environment in Aberdeen, Scotland.

He lived and worked in China for six years where he was one of the founding members of a new school of Architecture in Suzhou. He has been teaching in architecture schools and colleges in Europe and China for 13 years and has experience with basic and applied research in architectural design. His design and research work has been published internationally and he has received awards for teaching, research and architectural design. His main research deals with fabrication methods and conceptual computer generative tools in architectural design.

His latest projects include an innovative co-working space in Shanghai and an elevator test Tower in Kunshan.

Shaun Murray is a qualified architect and the director of experimental design studio ENIAtype, a transdisciplinary architecture practice founded in 2011 and gained his doctorate in architecture at Planetary Collegium, CAiiA hub of Plymouth University. Shaun is a Unit Master at the Architectural Association, Senior Lecturer at the Department of Architecture and Landscape, University of Greenwich and a Masters Thesis Tutor at the Bartlett School of Architecture, UCL.

He is the author of Disturbing Territories published by Springer in 2006 and has been published widely on his pioneering work in architectural drawing. He is the editor-in-chief of the international peer-reviewed architectural design journal entitled Design Ecologies, which is published biannually through Intellect Books. Current work on Tellurian Relics in the River Thames is published in Architectural Design in March 2018 entitled Celebrating the Marvellous: Surrealism in Architecture. Shaun will also be exhibiting and talking at the Unmoored Cities: Radical Urban Futures and Climate Catastrophes, organised by UCL Urban Laboratory on 25 May 2018.
