Rhino User Webinar: Designing with data: how Computational Design shapes daily practice

This webinar explores how computational design can make the design process smarter, faster, and more creative.
We’ll look at real examples of how data, algorithms, and automation are used to make better design decisions, tackle complex challenges, and free up time from repetitive tasks.
Computational design isn’t just a tool—it’s a way to push boundaries and rethink how we approach architecture, landscape, and urbanism.
It contributes to bring together creativity and technology to deliver more efficient, impactful designs.

Eliana is an architect, educator and head of computational design at Cobe, participating in numerous lectures and podcasts, discussing how technology interacts with creative developments. During her professional experience, she has been involved in a large range of projects all over the world. She worked for 3XN architects for four years, after completing a post-graduation master in advanced design methods. Eliana is the founder of ELNI Studio, which provides services related to AI solutions, 3D modelling, algorithmic modelling, data driven design and digital fabrication. ELNI Studio also offers mentoring sessions, focusing on portfolio review, career advice and public speaking training for students and young professionals. She has a background as academic researcher and she is still regularly involved in workshops and conferences concerning the use of digital strategies in architecture. She has been guest lecturer at universities worldwide, focusing on parametric approaches to face the emergent complexity of architecture.
