Anton Savov

He presented the 7DayHouse project at the Holcim Foundation Sounding Board Zurich, which tackles the urgency of providing housing solutions in densified urban locations in cities. The project combines generative design and mass timber to provide eco-friendly housing solutions for urban densification and utilizes data and computational design tools for the fabrication-aware design and manufacturing of fully customized homes.

At ETH Zurich, Anton runs the 7DayHouse project. This project uses AI and product platforms to propose a fabrication-aware generative design framework that aims to revolutionize how we approach residential buildings.

Previously, Anton was a research associate at TU Darmstadt’s Digital Design Unit (DDU) of Professor Oliver Tessmann, where he completed his Ph.D. At the DDU, he developed the Minecraft-based platform “20.000 BLOCKS” for collaborative architectural design and successfully partnered with IBA Heidelberg to create the IBA_GAME based on it. Before that, Anton worked at Bollinger+Grohmann Ingenieure and taught at the Städelschule Architecture Class. His work has been widely recognized and exhibited at various prestigious events, including the Venice Art Biennale, MAK Center in Los Angeles, and NODE Frankfurt.
