Biography

Roberto Bucheli is a graduate Core I studio instructor in the School of Architecture where he focuses on teaching digital skills to incoming students. He received a Bachelor of Architecture in his hometown of Quito at Universidad San Francisco in Ecuador and both Master of Architecture and a Master of Science in Digital Design - Fabrication at Georgia Institute of Technology.

Currently, Roberto is practicing at a local firm, BLUR Workshop, working primarily in the hospitality market. During the past year and a half, Roberto has been instrumental in the development of several projects which include a 35-story tower in Downtown Miami, a prefabricated mixed-use complex in the U.S. Virgin Islands and the master plan of a mixed-use development in Colorado.

A couple of Roberto’s notable built projects include a Custom Cast Glass Brick Façade Wall which is LED Programmable and remotely controlled, along with a Moiré Pinup Wall which visually reacts to the movement of persons walking by; both permanently installed in the Hinman Research Building at Georgia Tech.
