Tim Bruder

Tim Bruder  is a designer, architect, and researcher working with complex geometries, biomaterials, and living matter. He holds a Master’s degree from the Computation in Architecture studio at the Royal Danish Academy in Copenhagen. Before joining IAAC as a design and fabrication expert on the EU Project Team, he worked at CITA, contributing to several research projects and exhibitions.
Tim’s work bridges research with industrial production and speculative scenarios, integrating complex design systems in both materials and geometry. His projects include the development of 3D-printed urban furniture exhibited in Barcelona, studies on biophotovoltaic batteries powered by algae and plants, a 3D-printed bone glue panelling system, and exploring plant roots as architectural-scale composite materials.
He has led workshops at CITA and the University of Pennsylvania, focusing on conceptual development and visual representation of new material ecologies, incorporating natural processes like decay and growth.
