Landolf Rhode-Barbarigos is an assistant professor of civil and architectural engineering at University of Miami, where he also holds appointments at the school of architecture and the ocean sciences department at the Rosenstiel School. His research focuses on structural morphology and morphogenesis: the relation between a structure, its function, form, material, and forces and the processes that control the organized spatial distribution of material and modules in a structural system, respectively. Rhode-Barbarigos explores these concepts to design structures with marine and coastal, building and infrastructure systems, and space applications.
