Preface_
Asif Hasan Zeshan is a computational designer and researcher with an academic background in architecture. His work explores the integration of large-scale data in machine-assisted architectural design, with a focus on IoT frameworks and synthetic intelligence. His research investigates how human and non-human data—such as acoustic environments, behavioral patterns, and climatic conditions—can inform architectural and urban design decision-making.
Currently a PhD student at the University of Florida’s College of Design, Construction, and Planning, Asif is a Graduate Research Assistant at the EAAR Lab under Dr. Hassan Azad. His work engages IoT-driven urban acoustic data analysis, supported by UF Seed Funds and the National Science Foundation (NSF). Previously, he contributed to user-feedback-driven design methodologies at the Drachman Institute, University of Arizona.
An advocate for measurable environmental sustainability, and people empowered urbanism- Asif is recognized as a Regional Leader for PlacemakingX. He founded the non-profit Placemaking Bangladesh and served a Roots 4 Resilience Fellow at the Arizona Data Science Institute in 2023. His interdisciplinary approach positions him at the intersection of architecture, technology, and urban intelligence, shaping the discourse on post-human design paradigms.
