Anass Kariouh, M.Sc.
Anass Kariouh is a Structural Engineer and PhD researcher at the Professorship of Structural Design at TUM. His research focuses on developing advanced computational design tools for digitally fabricated, complex knitted structures. Positioned at the intersection of civil engineering and architecture, his work combines computational structural design and digital fabrication to create elegant, material-efficient solutions that redefine sustainability in architecture and engineering.
Anass holds a Bachelor’s degree in Civil Engineering and a Double Master’s degree in Structural Engineering and Building Engineering from TU Delft. He further honed his expertise as a Research Associate in the Tailored Materiality Research group at TU Delft, where he contributed to innovative projects at the forefront of structural design and material exploration.
He has been instrumental in designing and realizing large-scale structures and installations, including the KnitCrete Bridge—a pioneering example of integrating research with practice—and the Common Thread installation for the Bruges Triennial 2024, developed in collaboration with the acclaimed architecture firm SO-IL. Currently, Anass is advancing the FlexiForm project, where he is pioneering material-informed form-finding techniques to revolutionize the structural design of flexible knitted formworks.
