Personal profile
Curriculum vitae
Tom Svilans is an architectural designer and researcher based at CITA (Centre for IT and Architecture), in Copenhagen, Denmark. Tom’s work focuses on the intersection of design, computation, and material fabrication, and the use of emerging technologies to reveal new design potentials in free-form timber structures.
Tom combines an expertise in digital fabrication methods with international experience with design, fabrication, and media work. He is currently part of the EU-funded InnoChain research network, where he explores large-scale free-form timber construction in close collaboration with Blumer-Lehmann AG - a leading Swiss timber contractor - and White Arkitekter - a multidisciplinary Scandinavian architecture practice.
