Meet the Jury!
Meet the Jury of the contest “Solar Design for Public Co-working Spaces”. The contest, organized by SUPSI and MC2.0, highlights the crucial interplay between solar energy and buildings in creating multifunctional solar architectures to redefine the use of solar energy as a building and design material.
Meet the Jury!
Pierluigi Bonomo (top left)
SUPSI
Pierluigi, Ph.D. in Building Engineering/ Architecture, is senior researcher and head of BIPV Team at SUPSI. He is active in R&D projects, industry developments, pilot constructions and sensitization activities on solar architecture. He developed and implemented innovation actions in several multidisciplinary projects focused on BIPV (Building Integrated Photovoltaics) in collaboration with international consortia and partnerships. Pierluigi is an expert member of International Energy Agency, and of scientific and standardization committees.
Stefano DeAngelis (top middle)
deltaZERO
Stefano is a founding partner of deltaZERO, a dedicated interdisciplinary design group to the development of buildings with a high degree of integration of technological and consumption systems zero energy. He carries out strategic consultancy activities for real estate and urban development. He lectures on next generation buildings and sustainable development cities in Europe and China. He designs and builds with particular attention to technology, flexibility, energy and linearity of the design.
Beatrice Fumarola (top right)
IN/Arch
Beatrice is an architect, coordinator of Istituto Nazionale di Architettura-IN/ Arch since 2011. She manages and coordinates national and international events, conferences, seminars, competitions, publications and awards, funded European projects, advanced training and research activities on the topics of environmental sustainability and emerging technologies in architecture; member of the jury in architecture competitions and awards, as well as among the latest, editorial coordinator of the historic architecture magazine “L’industria delle costruzioni”.
Harold van de Ven (bottom left)
Architect met Energie
Architect, Turbo Thinker, and Speaker with Energy Harold van de Ven enjoys taking people into his world where mobility, bio-based building, technical installations, and energy literally and figuratively meet. Made possible through imagination and passion. Building and product design through alliances. Looking beyond our own field is something that we may become convinced of, or perhaps we already are. Advancing by working together and sharing knowledge. Take the energy transition, for example, which leads to overarching technical tasks, causing multiple fields to increasingly intersect. Harold energetically tackles this through his network and presentations. He does this in his role as a chain director of Building Balance and advisor for, among others, BIPV MOOI. After studying architecture at the Eindhoven University of Technology, Harold ran an architectural firm with a business partner for over 15 years, employing more than 30 people. Since 2022, he has continued independently to inspire people and get transition processes moving/accelerating. “Making transitions possible through imagination, passion, and collaboration” is his motto.
Bart van de Vorst (bottom right)
TNO
Bart van de Vorst works at research institute TNO / Solliance in the Netherlands as Senior Integration Expert in the field of Solar Technology. With a background in Industrial Product Design and Engineering, he is involved in various projects concerning the integration and application of Thin Film Photovoltaic Modules for numerous applications. From one-off demonstrators to small series production. In doing so, he takes production and scaling up into account. Since 2021, he has been part of the team at TNO responsible for the development and deployment of the Mass Customization Pilot Production line.
