Flippo Nasetti

Filippo Nassetti is an architect and generative designer. His design agenda was initiated in 2012 by co-founding MHOX, an EU-funded research practice and start-up focused on the design of radical artefacts and wearable products through computational techniques and 3d printing. The contribution of MHOX to generative design gained international recognition through a number of experimental projects, such as Collagene, Carapace and Superabundance Masks, Generative Orthoses, ENEA walking stick and the designs of prostheses. In 2015 Filippo joined Zaha Hadid Architects, initially as part of the Computation and Design team, then of Zaha Hadid Design. His focus there is on small scale research projects, from product design to experimental sculptures and installations. He was responsible for computational design in the ZHD x Odlo Futureskin project, a collection of sportswear based on body mapping and automated knitting, and Behaviour.Morphe, a ten-minute projection mapping on the 180-meter-long façade of the castle of Karlsruhe. Since 2016 he teaches at UCL The Bartlett School of Architecture, as part of the B-Pro Master’s Degree program. The research agenda he pursues, Postnatural Design, focuses on exploring the aesthetics that emerges from the crisis of traditional oppositions such as natural and artificial, digital and material, human and inhuman, relating research on organic form, computational methods and new media. Filippo’s independent work has been published and exhibited internationally. He lectured at The Royal College of Arts (London), China Central Academy of Fine Arts (Beijing), Florida International University (Miami) among others; exhibited at Centre Pompidou (Paris), Design Museum (London), Bozar Centre (Bruxelles); published on The New York Times, International Herald Tribune, Dezeen, Wired Italia.
