Alumni Spotlight
HENRY DAVID LOUTH, BARCH 2007
Computational Design and Design Research at Zaha Hadid Architects
  
Henry David Louth, a computational designer and design researcher at Zaha Hadid Architects (ZHA) London, earned his Bachelor of Architecture with honors from LSU in 2007. He spent five years in professional practice in Baton Rouge - earning his architecture license and LEED accreditation by 2011 - before receiving a master's degree from the Architectural Association Design Research Lab in 2014. Louth has worked professionally on project types ranging from retail rollouts to university renovations to new commercial and interiors to product design, prototyping, and civic design across the U.S. and abroad. His current research in the Computation and Design Research Group at ZHA speculates on curve crease folding and topology optimization applications. Louth is a published research contributor in the proceedings of Symposium on Simulation for Architecture and Urban Design and has taught and presented in the U.S., the U.K., and India on various architectural topics ranging from sustainability to construction and geometric theory.
 
In this month's alumni spotlight, Louth talks about his career path and his work at ZHA. At the time of this interview his office was busy preparing for an exhibition on Zaha Hadid's career in architecture and design at the Palazzo Franchetti in Venice, May 27-November 27, 2016. The exhibition coincides with the Venice Architectural Biennale.
