Minh Man Nguyen

Minh Man Nguyen serves as an Associate Professor at the School of Architecture of Paris-Malaquais (ENSAPM), part of PSL University, within the Digital Matters department under the Theories and Practices of Architectural and Urban Design (TPCAU) disciplinary field. He coordinates a digital technology think tank at the École Spéciale d'Architecture and teaches intensive programs and project studios at ENSAPM.

His educational background includes:

• Building Engineering Diploma from ESTP
• DPLG Architect degree from ENSAPLV
• Master of Science in Architecture from Georgia Tech

Nguyen's research centers on digital tool integration in architectural practice, specializing in computational geometry and optimization algorithms for complex structures. His work with Vienna University of Technology on projects like the LVMH Foundation demonstrates applied research in algorithmic form-finding. He emphasizes hands-on 'making' through his WAO architecture firm and promotes collaborative fabrication via WoMa neighborhood factory.

Professional engagements include structural engineering at RFR Paris (complex geometry department) and architectural practice at Mack Scogin Merill Elam. His pedagogical focus bridges digital theory with workshop-based learning in architectural education.
