With a PhD in robotics and parametric design for timber construction, OD now serves as the President of Intelligent City, leading the company&#8217;s strategic vision and execution. Under his leadership, Intelligent City is scaling its mass timber product platform for high-rise multi-family housing by integrating building systems, advanced manufacturing, and software automation to revolutionize urban housing.<\/p>\n<p>Prior to joining Intelligent City as CTO, Oliver was a research associate and group leader at the Institute for Computational Design and Construction (ICD) at the University of Stuttgart, Germany. There, he led and participated in several international research and built projects that explore architectural potentials in timber construction. The resulting material systems and prototypes evaluated the structural and spatial possibilities, ultimately pushing the boundaries of today\u2019s architectural design research.<\/p>\n<p>Oliver taught workshops taught workshops and held lectures on architectural design, manufacturing, and timber construction, across the world, as part of his academic career at the ICD, where he also taught in the ITECH MSc program. Between 2014 and 2017, Oliver was a scholarship holder of the German National Academic Foundation for his dissertation. His work won many national and international awards and was published in numerous magazines worldwide.<\/p>\n<p>In 2018, Oliver founded the design firm odk.design to continue his research in the
