Pedro Soza received a degree in architecture from the University of Chile in 1997. In 2004, Soza returned to the University of Chile and joined SIGraDi, the Ibero-American Society of Digital Graphics. In 2005, he was invited as a jury member for the International Biennale of Architecture at Miami Beach. In 2006, he was chair of the X international conference of SIGraDi in Santiago, Chile. From 2007 to 2009, as president of SIGraDi, he was invited to be a member of the international jury for FEIDAD, the Far Eastern International Design Award, in Taiwan. After presenting his work in design computation in Chile, Brazil, Mexico, Cuba, and Peru in 2008, Mr. Soza was granted a Fulbright Scholarship to pursue a doctoral degree in architecture in the United States. In December 2013, he came back to Chile and became Director of the School of Architecture, Design, and Geography of the University of Chile until July 2017. In May 2018, he obtained his Ph.D. at the Georgia Institute of Technology. In 2020, Mr. Soza received the “Arturo Montagu” annual award from SIGraDi due to his work and contribution to the academic society. Currently, his research focuses on two tracks: better understanding the formulation of architectural design from a cognitive science and neuroscience framework and exploring how AI, 3D Printing, and IoT contribute to gathering evidence to improve architectural design formulation.
