Matteo Silverio is a Venetian architect and researcher, expert in computational design and digital fabrication. During his professional career he has collaborated with several international studios, playing the role of lead designer and project manager in the development of innovative projects, many of them winners of international competitions.
Since 2017 he has been leading a multidisciplinary team based in Murano with which he promotes and develops projects on different scales and sectors, using horizontal knowledge and contaminating “distant” fields: coding to optimize shapes or minimize waste, biology to paint pictures and produce energy, chemistry to transform waste into works of art in a circular economy perspective. Many of his projects have been published in magazines and books and exhibited in prestigious museums and institutions such as the Mint Gallery and the Saatchi Gallery (London), the Design Museum in Dubai and the Corning Museum of Glass (New York).
In addition to his professional practice, Matteo also teaches and researches in the field of computational design and digital fabrication, with a particular focus on issues related to environmental sustainability and the circular economy.
