Matthew Catania – Bio-Digital Fabrication: Neolithic Futures – Announcing a New Materiality

Matthew Catania is a Research Architect and the Founder of Ambitious. He is an Architecture graduate from the University of Malta. After completing his Bachelor’s degree, he moved into the field of Bio-Design, where he focused upon an exploration in the design of material behaviours, and as a result obtained a distinction in his Master’s degree.

Over time, his research has propelled him into developing a interdisciplinary design approach, operating within the intersections of biological design, digital-fabrication and programmable-matter. Matthew puts forward a material-based design agenda. A central attribute to his unique creative process is the ability to design in collaboration with matter.
