معرفی
Dario Parigi serves as Associate Professor, Head of Division, and Head of Research Group within the Department of the Built Environment at Aalborg University's Faculty of Engineering and Science. He leads the Sustainable Structures, Materials and Construction Research Group and maintains an active research profile with 43+ publications and 5 major projects including the active Instant Urbanism initiative. His work bridges structural engineering, sustainable design, and computational methodologies.
Parigi's research spans timber reuse optimization, reciprocal structural systems, and multi-dimensional form-finding, with recent focus on carbon metrics for reused timber and kinetic adaptive facades. His fingerprint analysis reveals strong connections to Design Process (100%), Form Finding (83%), and Reciprocal Structures (64%), demonstrating consistent thematic focus across two decades of work.
Analysis of his 15 most recent publications shows increasing emphasis on circular construction (2021-2022), with 60% addressing timber reuse challenges and optimization methodologies. Earlier works (2015-2018) established foundational frameworks for reciprocal structures and computational design tools, evolving toward integrated sustainability metrics in recent output.
- 5 million DKK research grant for timber reuse (2024)
- Det Obelske Familiefond funding for Utzon(x) Research-by-design
- Multiple media features in Danish press (2024) regarding sustainable construction research
As Principal Investigator for projects like Lightweight structural elements and Skolernes Indeklima, Parigi secures significant research funding while mentoring junior researchers through 14 documented activities including conference presentations and workshop leadership. His Urban Tranquility project demonstrates interdisciplinary collaboration across environmental and structural domains.
Parigi directs the Sustainable Structures, Materials and Construction Research Group where his team develops innovative approaches to structural reciprocity and material reuse. Current focus includes the Parigi Mechanism for adaptive facades and computational frameworks for minimal-waste timber layouts, with recent press coverage highlighting real-world applications of their research.
