Valentina Beatini
Architectural Engineering · Geometry-Driven Structures · Computational Methods
Licensed architect and researcher in computational and structural design, working at the intersection of computation, geometry-informed structural
systems, and reversible construction. I develop analytical and design methods that connect architectural intent with
structural reasoning, prototyping, and performance modelling.
Selected highlights
- MarmoMac Exhibition (2025), Verona, IT — with Prof. Arch. A. Pizzigoni. Branching Knot: novel, self-balancing masonry system.
- International Research Pavilion Competition (2021) — II Placement. With MS student L.H. Heinzl and Prof. Eng. P.H. Kirkegaard.
- Kayseri Design Week (2017) — Foldable Pavilions (students pavilion), supported by the Chamber of Architects (Kayseri, TR). Lead; collaborative work with SMiA research group (UPC).
- Open-source tool (2018) — Code repository for a custom NSCD masonry simulator, developed with Prof. Eng. Alessandro Tasora: (Link).
Scientific service
Regular peer reviewer for international journals in computational and structural research in architecture and engineering (selected: Engineering Structures, Royal Society Proceedings A, Scientific Reports, The Journal of Architecture). I also contribute to scientific committees (including ICSA 2025, Antwerp, and ATI International Symposium series, Izmir).
