David Avila Pimentel | Fab Academy 2026

I’m a designer maker from Lima, Peru, with a degree in Architecture. I’ve been passionate about digital fabrication for several years, working with CNC machines, as well as 3D design and printing. I’m part of the FabLab Peru family, where I’ve actively supported and participated in events that promote digital fabrication. Currently, I’m focusing on parametric design and developing my own brand, Parametri-k, exploring the relationship between design, technology, and digital production.

FINAL PROJECT

The tentative final project consists of a kinetic modular panel designed for windows, curtain walls, or facades. This project arises from the pursuit of thermal comfort within the bioclimatic architecture of the Peruvian environment and reality. Furthermore, it explores the diverse forms and designs that facades or panels can achieve, working with the interplay of light and shadow driven by solar positioning.
