Push the boundaries of what's possible in design — using code, data, and parametric thinking to solve problems that traditional methods cannot.
Who We Are
Architecture Social is a specialist recruitment consultancy connecting computational design talent with architecture, engineering, and technology-led practices across the UK. We partner with studios working on commercial towers, residential masterplans, and mixed-use developments — many of whom are investing heavily in computational design capabilities. We are regularly briefed on Computational Designer roles, and by registering speculatively you are placed at the front of our shortlist for these highly sought-after positions.
What Our Clients Typically Ask For
• Strong proficiency in Grasshopper, Dynamo, or Houdini for parametric design and generative workflows
• Programming skills in Python, C#, or visual scripting languages applied to architectural design challenges
• Experience developing custom tools, scripts, and plugins that improve design efficiency and exploration
• Ability to work across disciplines — collaborating with architects, engineers, and sustainability consultants
• Familiarity with environmental analysis tools (Ladybug, Honeybee, ClimateStudio) for performance-driven design
• Experience with data visualisation, design optioneering, and computational geometry
• Understanding of fabrication workflows — translating parametric models into buildable geometry
If your work sits at the intersection of design creativity and computational rigour, we want to hear from you.
Why Register With Architecture Social
