Guest Speakers
Dinara Kasko
Dinara Kasko is a pastry chef, architect, and the founder of Dinara Kasko Pastry Art, a global bakery recognized for its creative cakes and pastries. Dinara will display some of her creative works at the Computational Design: NEXT 10 conference. Dinara studied architecture at the National Academy of Fine Arts and Architecture and worked as an architect and 3D visualizer before discovering her passion for pastry baking and utilizing her design abilities in this industry. Kasko’s primary baking method entails creating a silicone mold with a 3D printer and then using them to shape a cake. Her works of confectionery art incorporate Voronoi diagram and biomimicry mathematical ideas without sacrificing taste. Unfortunately, during the Russian invasion of Ukraine in 2022, Kasko’s studio in Kharkiv was attacked.
Arian Hakimi
Arian Hakimi is the founder and principal of Arian Hakimi Architects, a multidisciplinary studio for architecture, urbanism, and design, rooted in systematic design strategies. He also is a former lead designer at Zaha Hadid Architects. Arian Hakimi will be commencing a lecture at Computational Design: NEXT 10 conference. Arian has given lectures on parametricism and systematic design methods and tutored several workshops worldwide, encouraging bottom-up design approaches to open up new design areas. Including in the ZHA intern summer program, which resulted in an exhibition of the extraordinary process,” the late Zaha Hadid’s final show at Maison Mais Non-London. Arian joined ZHA in 2013 and has been involved in more than 26 projects, ranging from residential, mixed-used buildings to transportation infrastructure and masterplan development, including two projects under construction. Unicorn Island in Chengdu and KAFD, an-award winning Metro Station in King Abdullah Financial District in Riyadh. He has contributed to implementing advanced parametric design strategies and automation in architectural workflow on these projects.

Roberto Naboni
Roberto Naboni is an architect, Ph.D., Associate Professor in Computational Design and Digital Fabrication at SDU, and Director of SDU CREATE. Roberto will be our guest speaker at the Computational Design: NEXT 10 conference. He graduated from Politecnico di Milano with a Master of Architecture and just earned his doctorate in Architecture, built environment, and construction engineering program. Roberto published papers at international conferences and authored articles for journals and magazines. He is the author of “Advanced Customization in Architectural Design and Construction” (2015). He previously collaborated with international research centers and offices for architecture, such as ICD Stuttgart, ETH Zurich, Skidmore, Owings and Merrill, Enric Miralles & Benedetta Tagliabue Associates, and Stefano Boeri Studio.
Andrea Rossi
Andrea Rossi is an architect, researcher, and creative coder. He is the developer of WASP, an open-source Grasshopper plug-in to design discrete aggregations of modular elements. Andrea will be giving a lecture and Q&A session at the Computational Design: NEXT 10 conference. Wasp is a Python-based Grasshopper plug-in that provides combinatorial tools for designing with discrete pieces. Each part’s description contains the information required for the aggregate process (part geometry, connections location, and orientation). The connections create the part’s topological network, which determines aggregation possibilities with other factors. Wasp provides a set of aggregation algorithms that enable the creation of structures based on geometry and data. It also includes utilities for visualizing and processing the resultant aggregate and tools for restricting it both locally and globally.
