Ricardo Simian
The quest to explore different areas, ranging from arts to technical innovation, has taken Ricardo from Chile to Italy, to Switzerland and finally to Norway, collecting degrees in music performance, cultural management, and early music along the way.
All these fields have come together in his main project, an ongoing PhD research into Design and 3D printing at the Oslo School of Architecture and Design (AHO). This research builds upon Ricardo’s award-winning startup 3D Music Instruments (www.3dmusicinstruments.com), which operates at the cross section between 3D printing technology, music, design and innovation.
