Dipl.-Arch. Tomas Mena Lozada, MEng
Architect, graduated from the Universidad Central de Venezuela
awarded with final project highest-grade recognition.
After an extensive career experience in design, construction
and project managing, he moves to Germany in 2016, to
pursue his master studies. During this time, he co-developed
Cliphut, a parametric building system in wood
focused on self construction using computational design
and digital fabrication. The project was awarded Best Idea
by Metsawood´s Openwood on-line platform among other
publications. In 2018 he obtained the title of Master in
Engineering with Valedictorian mention at the Technische
Hochschule Ostwestfalen-Lippe where still participates
as guest lecturer. Currently he is Senior Computational Designer
at Schueco where he connects different technologies
to innovate in the AEC industry.
