Biography
Dr Danilo Di Mascio is a Lecturer in Architecture, researcher and qualified architect. He joined the School of Art, Design and Architecture at the University of Huddersfield on September 2017. Before that, he was Postdoctoral Research Fellow at Northumbria University (Department of Architecture and Built Environment) and Research Associate at Open Lab, Newcastle University where he worked on a multidisciplinary research project funded by the EPSRC.
Danilo’s PhD was awarded by the School of Advanced Studies, Faculty of Architecture, G. d’Annunzio University (Chieti-Pescara, Italy) with a Doctor Europaeus Award in 2012 (fulfilling the four requirements established in 1992 by EUA, the European University Association).
Danilo teaches Design Studio and Personal Development 1: An Introduction to Communication Skills. He also supervises dissertations at both undergraduate and graduate level. He has been involved in design crits in academic institutions in Italy, Belgium, United Kingdom, New Zealand and the United States.
Before, during and after his PhD, Danilo has undertaken several research projects related to the documentation, comprehension and analysis of tangible and intangible features of architecture and places in five different countries: Belgium, England, Italy, Scotland, and the United States. During his research projects, he developed theoretical approaches and methodologies and used various tools, both analogue and digital, including CAAD, 3d modelling, Image editing software, BIM, game engines, semantic web technologies.
Danilo participated, as author and speaker, at various international conferences in Europe, the Middle East and the Far East. During the CAADRIA (Computer Aided Architectural Design Research in Asia) Conference held at the Chinese University of Hong Kong in 2010, he received the Young CAADRIA Award for his research.
He has conceived and successfully organised the first “Contextualized Digital Heritage Workshop (CDHW)” held during the 34th eCAADe (Education and research in Computer Aided Architectural Design in Europe) conference in Oulu, Finland (Di Mascio et al. 2016). The workshop represented the starting point of other workshops and activities about architectural heritage and digital technologies. So far, he has organised, in collaboration with academics from other international institutions, other successful Contextualized Digital Heritage Workshops in China (2017), Poland (2018), and South Korea (2019). He has also organised workshops about architecture and urban design in Australia and Malaysia. Danilo has experience in practice in Italy and England.
