Dr. Pablo Lorenzo-Eiroa is an associate professor with Tenure, director of the AI Lab and first director of the Master of Science in Architecture, Computational Technologies program at the School of Architecture and Design at NYIT. He is an international architect and scholar in the fields of architecture, urbanism, ecology, and computation. His work innovates in information-based representation and construction systems through materials, robotics and digital fabrication.

He received his Doctor in Architecture degree from UIC Barcelona and his architecture degree from the University of Buenos Aires, where he completed studies for his second master's degree and a post-graduate seminar at the Superior School of Fine Arts de la Carcova. He then won the Fulbright and the National Endowment for the Arts Scholarship to complete his M.Arch II at Princeton University. Professionally, Lorenzo-Eiroa is the design principal of the experimental practice e-Architects (New York/Buenos Aires) based on an emerging Architecture and Urbanism of Information. e-Architects develops software, information “mapping” and “visualizations” implementing Big Data, including machines to “draw” and machines to “build”, understanding them as proto-architectural. His built work includes parks, buildings and installations in Buenos Aires, New York and Europe.

Lorenzo-Eiroa’s projects and articles have been published, exhibited and presented in several publications and institutions, including The Venice Biennale (VIII, IX, XVI, XVII), MoMA, MAS Summit 2017, NYC Media Lab, ACADIA, The Storefront for Art and Architecture, The New York Times, Clarin ARQ, La Nacion, Constructs (Yale University SoA), Paradigms in Computation (eVolo), Imagining Ground Zero, The Generic Sublime (Actar/Harvard GSD), Plataforma Arquitectura, Arch Daily, Suckerpunch, Pidgin (Princeton), and many others.

Previously, Lorenzo-Eiroa was an Associate Professor adj. at The School of Architecture of Cooper Union, where he was the head professor and coordinator of the Advanced Master Program Studio (Fall semester 2014, 2015, 2017) and the Design II Studio (Fall semester 2010-2013). He was also the director of an innovative digital representation and fabrication certificate combining faculty and students from different disciplines (CE). He was appointed Visiting Associate Professor at UPenn, Columbia University, UIC Barcelona, Sapienza University in Rome, Universidad Torcuato Di Tella, and the University of Buenos Aires.

He was invited to lecture and present on many occasions including keynotes and invited presentations at institutions globally, including: New York Institute of Technology, The Cooper Union, Princeton University, Harvard University GSD, Rice University, Art Institute Chicago, ETH-Zurich, ENSA-Strasbourg, UIC Barcelona, University of Alicante, Sapienza University in Rome, Tongji University, University of Buenos Aires, Hong Kong University, Tel Aviv University, Universidad Catolica de Puerto Rico Ponce, UCE, and others.
