“Recognizing the need is the primary condition for design.”

My focus is on generative design in architecture as well as extending our tools and capabilities through collaboration with algorithms and technology. My daily job is based on creating algorithms that can solve various design and engineering problems in architecture through parametric and computational design, as well as different simulation and optimization techniques. 

I am currently a PhD student at the Faculty of Architecture in Belgrade. My research topic is based on 3D Graphic Statics and developing new algorithms for it (a topic that Block Reseacrch Group from ETH is also exploring).

During 2019. I was a Inspireli finalist.

My Architectural Design focus mainly tends towards two major areas;

1. Research and practice in computational and parametric design. I'm currently experimenting and research in the most advanced parametric design tools while aiming to integrate these tools with important architectural design aspects such as shape and topology optimization, environmental and structural analysis. 

2. Advanced Sustainable Design, for this reason I've been accredited as Pakistan's first LEED AP in Interior Design + Construction. My focus in this area is majorly on the latest construction technology and source material reduction in buildings.

historical urban & architecture + public spaces and its changing under the impact of social / economic pressure.

I belived in the principle that interior is for the users and exterior is for the public. Architecture is the reflection of ones culture and history. Architecture is developed and evolved out of the local culture, climate, materials, and  context. So, architects need to design respecting the local context, local culture and local history.

So, my focus is on searching for the locally focussed architecture in this global architecture. 

For my interest and passion, I am convinced that the appropriate design of each space improves the quality of life of the user. For this reason, I consider each new project as a personal challenge and I always aim for space production of the most high quality thanks to a dynamic architecture. Sociability, creativity, sense of organization and methodical sense are elements that characterize me.

Based in Madrid, Edgar Gonzalez leads the Bachelor in Design program at IE School of Architecture and Design. He founded EGD Edgar Gonzalez Design, a Strategic Design Agency, where he serves clients as a strategic consultant specialised in applying design processes to complex problems and narratives. As, Editor-in-chief of edgargonzalez.com since 2002, one of the main reference websites about architecture and design in the Spanish speaking world, he is tuned in to news and trends in architecture and design throughout the world.
 
Especially interested in themes at the threshold of the architectural practice, he researches the relationships between new technologies and media for creative processes and contemporary cities.  He has served as guest professor and speaker in several universities and has been the curator and designer of several exhibitions and cultural projects. From 2000 to 2002 he worked as an architect at Zaha Hadid Architects in London and at Arquitectura Torres Nadal from 2002 to 2005. He also served as an editorial designer for the  Architectural Association London, The Economist and The Guardian.
 
Holds a Bachelor in Architecture ( ITESO University, Guadalajara, Mexico, 1996) and a M.A. in Complex Architecture  (Alicante University, Alicante, Spain, 2007).
 

Golub Architects Company and me, as the chief architect, have several focuses: firstly, it is a residential and commercial architecture (individual houses, apartment buildings, offices, cafes, restaurants, etc.); secondly, it is urban design; the third is the design of parks and recreational areas, landscape design. Also, now our company has a number of orders in a new field for us - these are memorial complexes (memorials are devoted to the Revolution of Dignity in Ukraine).

Analysis, Understanding the project, need of the project, respecting the site climate and requirment.

Architecture is following rules with freedom...
