    About Me

    Liam Cassano

    What I Work On

    My work sits between architecture, computational design, robotic fabrication, material systems, and visual storytelling. I’m especially interested in projects that move beyond representation and become something that can be tested, built, documented, and refined.

    Outside the Studio

    Outside of architecture, I spend time filming, photographing, travelling, and documenting projects. I’m drawn to the overlap between design, technology, storytelling, and making things that feel considered and memorable.
