Lluis Enrique Monzo graduated in 2008 with a diploma in architecture from the Polytechnic University of Catalonia (UPC) and received in 2011 his Master’s degree in Architecture, Design Research Laboratory, from the Architectural Association School of Architecture (AA).

In 2011 his Master’s thesis “Cast on Cast parametrization system and fabrication method” was awarded with the 1st prize on the Holcim Awards in sustainable construction in the “Next Generation” category. In the same year he obtained the La Caixa fellowship to continue his research in a PhD in the Chair of Structural Design at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Zürich.

His research explores the Nested Geometries, the Cast on Cast fabrication system and their potential to be applied as a post-tension structural system of non-standard pre-cast concrete panels for the building of free-form structural surfaces.
