Michele Arinze Akilo
"On 15th of March 2018 I graduated from Università di Bologna's International MSc in Civil Engineering (Structural Eng. track) with a thesis titled "Design and analysis of a composite panel with ultra-thin glass faces and a 3D-printed polymeric core". The project was carried out at Delft University of Technology and explored a possible façade solution exploiting the outstanding characteristics of thin Aluminosilcate glass: a glass typology usually adopted for electronic devices such as smartphones and tablets. #Architecture, #Engineering and #AdditiveManufacturing all played a key role within the project, letting me explore, learn and test my ideas with the support of my supervisors and glass professionals. After having spent some time off, I am now super excited to join Octatube's roster and finally help realize challenging architecture!"
