Nicola Di Maso
Résumé
Open-minded and self-confident architectural designer with 3 years of professional experience, currently pursuing a Master’s in BIM Management and Artificial Intelligence to further enhance digital design workflows.
Driven and proactive, I have participated in several architecture competitions and volunteered as a tour guide for Open House Madrid, engaging people in the city’s architecture.
I approach architecture with curiosity and precision, working across multiple scales, from urban strategies to construction details, while continuously integrating new methodologies such as BIM and exploring the potential of AI to enhance the design process.
