Explore Data Aided Design’s Interviews with Design Leaders in Architecture, Fashion, and Technology

During the Covid-19 pandemic, the editorial team at Data Aided Design interviewed a series of design professionals, researchers, architects, and academics to further explore data’s ongoing relationship in these fields. Below we look back and highlight seven past interviews as we re-discover their work and contributions to the field. Connecting with researchers and design innovators within architecture and its adjacent fields helps create a stronger dialogue for understanding the role of data in design performance. Data Aided Design isn’t just a digital magazine but a platform where we can learn more about processes and the individuals behind such innovations.
