About
Mario Romero is a digital practice and computational design lead at Perkins&Will, the global architecture and design practice. Over a career of around 17 years, which began at a supertall skyscraper design firm, he has focused on bringing parametric workflows and advanced design technology into everyday project delivery.
He works hand in hand with design teams to drive geometry with parameters and data, to speed up client optioneering, and to keep design software serving the design vision rather than constraining it. He describes computational design in plain terms: using parameters and algorithms to drive design decisions, something any designer can begin with, not a specialism reserved for programmers.
On the Architecture Social Podcast, Mario joined his Perkins&Will colleague Nirmala Srinivasa to walk through a real tech-campus project and show how a curved feature moved from sketch to a signed-off, buildable reality.
