Ing. Andrea Mercurio

My professional path

From 2016 to 2024 I collaborated with leading engineering firms in Milano, including Redesco Progetti, Freyssinet and Pini Group, designing reinforced-concrete and steel structures to Eurocodes and NTC:

  • residential and industrial buildings
  • viaducts and cut-and-cover tunnels
  • retaining works
  • seismic protection devices

Over the past 10 years I have specialized in developing software and automation tools — in Matlab, Python, VBA and Rhino/Grasshopper — for 3D modeling, structural checks, laboratory test-data analysis, FEM-BIM integration (Midas Gen, Revit, Tekla, IFC) and the automated drawing of complex geometries.

As a computational design specialist with Grasshopper and an authorized trainer ART (Authorized Rhino Trainer), I collaborate with several universities, including Politecnico di Milano, teaching parametric modeling courses.

In 2023 I published the monograph Parametric Experiments in Architecture. A Connection Joint Design for Sustainable Structures in Bamboo with Springer, exploring form-finding and digital fabrication techniques.

Since 2024 I work as a freelance engineer registered with the Order of Engineers of the Province of Como, focusing on structural design and bespoke software development for engineering.
