David Durán, educated as an Architect at Instituto

Tecnológico y de estudios Superiores de Monterrey, Campus

Ciudad de México (México, D.F.), earned his post-graduate

Master’s degree in Architecture (2007) and a DEA’s degree (2009)

at etsaB-UPC, Barcelona (Spain). David is an interdisciplinary

practitioner focused on integral design strategies and processes

for Non-Standard Architecture. He is an expert in material

systems, interactive structures of variable geometry, parametric-
associative design strategies, and digital fabrication.

From early 2007, David resided in Spain. Here he

joined ACXT-(IDOM) working as project manager, designer, and

researcher. During five years, he was deeply involved in several

research projects.

Since 2006, David taught design studios and workshops within

undergraduate and postgraduate programs across several

schools among which etsaB-UPC (Spain), ITESM (MEX), SEED

In fall 2011, David starts a new Master Degree at

Bio Design Research Group, initiatives of Jordi Truco (AA

(Architectural Association March) currently developed within

the ADDA (Advanced Design and Digital Architecture) Masters’

Degree Program at Elisava, Escuela Superior de Disseny i

Enginyeria de Barcelona, UPF (Universitat Pompeu Fabra).

David is the founder of architectural agents, advanced geometry exploration for non standard structures & architecture, an

academic research and education initiative launched in 2009

that develops interdisciplinary research in computational design

strategies, material systems, interactive structures of variable

geometry, composites structures and “File to Factory” strategies

in Architecture.

In 2007, David inaugurated ARCHITECTURAL AGENTS. is a hybrid architectural office where practice, research, and education combine in

collaboration with an international network of research partners.

As an interdisciplinary platform for these activities, focused

on computational research and data-driven fabrication in

architecture.

Actually he is the Academic cordinator in MAFD, Master in Architecture & Digital Fabrication. Anahuac University. www.mafdmx.com
