About
Julien Geno is a leading researcher at the intersection of parametric design, robotic fabrication, and sustainable timber construction. His work focuses on developing computational design rules and digital fabrication workflows for complex timber structures, particularly reciprocal frames and log floors. Geno’s most impactful contribution, "Parametric design and robotic fabrication of whole timber reciprocal structures" (2022, 36 citations), demonstrates how combining algorithmic design with robotic milling enables the precise, cost-effective assembly of raw timber components—a breakthrough that challenges the dominance of concrete and steel in construction. His earlier work on mass optimization under stiffness constraints (2021) provides foundational design rules for timber log reciprocal floors, directly addressing the need for affordable, low-carbon building systems. By integrating structural performance with robotic fabrication, Geno’s research offers practical pathways to reduce construction costs while maintaining high precision. His achievements highlight a visionary approach to making timber construction competitive at scale, with significant implications for sustainable architecture and digital manufacturing.
