About

Lars Hesselgren is a pioneering figure at the intersection of architecture, geometry, and computational design. His research focuses on architectural geometry, digital fabrication, and the integration of advanced computational methods into building design and urban infrastructure. Hesselgren is best known for his foundational work on non-manifold topology and spatial information modeling, which he developed alongside colleagues like Robert Aish and Aparajit Pratap. This work, featured in the highly cited volume *Advances in Architectural Geometry 2010* (26 citations), introduced tools like ASM and DesignScript that allow architects to model complex, freeform geometries with unprecedented precision and efficiency. More recently, Hesselgren has turned his attention to the future of urban mobility, co-authoring "NuMo – New Urban Mobility" (2019), which explores how autonomous vehicles will reshape city infrastructure. While his citation counts reflect a specialized but deeply influential niche, his contributions have been instrumental in bridging the gap between theoretical geometry and practical architectural design. Hesselgren’s work continues to inspire researchers and practitioners seeking to push the boundaries of what is computationally and structurally possible in the built environment.
