Noumena is a collective group focused on design, research and education based in italy and spain. Noumena is investigating between the boundaries of new digital paradigms and design strategies applied to architecture, robotics and fabrication, through a handson and experimental approach. Founded in 2011 by Aldo Sollazzo and Matteo Di Sora, Noumena promotes experimentation in every task presented, pushing its own boundaries beyond conventional design limits. We promote data-driven design, mixing environmental strategies with computational thinking from urban scale to robotic fabrication. Noumena leads and coordinates several international events and activities such workshops, competitions, exhibitions, establishing a networking workflow based on open-innovation.
