His aim is to fully utilize the computational capabilities of the computer as a design tool to simulate and optimize parts of a design without sacrificing its in-artificial nature. Parametric design combines his profound interest in technology and programming with his creative side and love for architecture. He finished the master Structural Design in 2017 on the dynamic behaviour and performance of adaptive structures. He is a structural engineer and a PhD candidate at the Eindhoven University of Technology where he simulates the mechanical deterioration processes in concrete sewer pipes subjected to sulfuric acid corrosion. Since 2016 Frits Rooyackers works for SIDstudio on a flexible basis for projects involving parametric design. In his free time he enjoys playing drums in his band, cycling, and working with wood and steel. Working on projects of MDLX modular building system brings all these challenges together. He is interested in discussing the production and execution method as this is part of his research towards structural efficiency. He’s an expert in parametric optimisation. By using an holistic approach which considers the impact of architecture on both people and nature, he aspires to contribute to efficient design solutions pleasant for both people and nature. ![]() Today’s developments and challenges in construction inspires him to look at structural design in a broad perspective. ![]() His fascination in technique was the driver for him to study structural design. In 2019, he completed the master Structural Design at Eindhoven University of Technology where he graduated on timber Reciprocal Frame structures. He studied structural design at the Amsterdam and HAN University of Applied Sciences. These are made up entirely of prefabricated elements, creating buildings that can be adapted during their lifespan and the elements can be reused for its next destination. This firm develops, manufactures and constructs wooden modular buildings. He is setting up a robotics lab for students to combine desk study with real production.īecause of his interest in sustainability he is also partner at MDLX b.v. He teaches Resource Efficient Structural Design in which students learn to understand and reduce the environmental impact of the building industry. His position as Assistant Professor at the Faculty of Build Environment at Eindhoven Technical University, supports this vision and strengthens the relationship between practice, new developments and research. ![]() With this firm he wants to focus more on the design aspects of structures, always with a strong architectural and sustainable added value and a high level of integration with other disciplines. His interest in architecture and lightweight structures was a prominent motivation to launch SIDstudio in 2011. ![]() He is an experienced project manager and design leader. During his career he worked on many high-level, international projects. In 2004 he also completed a second Master’s degree in lightweight structures at the Eindhoven Technical University. He has studied civil engineering at the Delft University of Technology and graduated at the Department of Mechanics & Constructions in 1996 with an honourable mention from the Dutch Concrete Association. Arjan Habraken is structural designer and founder of SIDstudio.
