INFO-MATTER is an updating knowledge base showcasing the experimental education, research and design initiatives conducted under the guidance of Dr. Nimish Biloria, at Hyperbody, Technical University of Delft, The Netherlands.

INFO-MATTER investigates the intricate relationship between Information flow and associative Material formations at variable scales in the Architectural domain via the application of advanced computational tools and techniques. 

INFO-MATTER agenda is is deeply rooted in exploring novel inter-disciplinary strategies and non-linear processes for developing generative meta-design systems for deriving bottom-up Non-standard and Interactive Architectural formations. Experiments dealing with Simulation techniques: Evolutionary Algorithms, Multi-Agent Systems and Swarm Behaviour, Architectural Robotics: Embedded Sensing, Actuation and Control systems, Mechanics, and Associative Modelling: Parametric design, Generative geometry are meticulously conducted under the INFO-MATTER umbrella.   

Dr. Nimish Biloria is an Assistant Professor at the, Architectural Engineering and Technology Department (Chair: Hyperbody) at the Faculty of Built Environment and Design, TU Delft, The Netherlands. He firmly believes in digitally driven bottom-up methodologies for developing performance driven sustainable and energy efficient design solutions at the micro and macro scale.

His research and education interests in Performative Design and Interactive Architecture are clubbed under the research umbrella ‘Info-Matters’ which investigates the intricate relation- ships between information flow and associative material formations. Investigations under this research umbrella include the following: Design Information Modelling, Interaction Design and Cognitive Sciences, Computational Design and Urban Informatics.

He holds a PhD from the Delft University of Technology in Real-time interactive environments and a Masters in Architecture in Emergent Technologies and Design from the Architectural Association, London, UK. He has lectured at several prestigious institutes globally and has also presented and published his research and design deductions in numerous international journals, design conferences, books and magazines. He is also the Director of his design firm: DESIGN GENESIS, a design and strategy consultancy based in The Netherlands & India.
