MircoBianchini


Digital Product Manager with a background as a digital automation fabrication specialist and developer, a passionate advocate of technology and its applications in the AEC industry. I am an architect by training, with 20 years of experience in the sector; however, I simply didn’t know who I was until I fell in love with computational design.
Developing processes, optimizing projects and bringing together a unique mix of data and technical expertise.
This represents both my job and my nature and my constant strive to move forward.

After my Architectural studies, I’ve been part of the team at Mario Cucinella Architects (MCA), a team put together to deliver five projects dedicated to the post-earthquake reconstruction of the Italian region of Emilia Romagna, where my hometown is.
During my time at MCA, I’ve been involved in many projects, either independently or in a team; examples include the Unipol headquarters and Deloitte’s new greenhouse in Milano.
I closely collaborated for a few years with NYXO Studio, formerly known as Disguincio, where I had the opportunity to grow and further develop my research method by actively participating in many competitions and collaborating in relevant projects for clients.

Being a versatile and forward-looking thinker, in 2015, I literally moved forward in the global time zone by coming to Australia to discover the next part of my career.
In Sydney, I joined AR-MA as Computational Designer and Digital Fabrication Consultant, deeply fascinated by their motto ‘We code. We model. We design. We solve.’
At AR-MA, my analytical attitude had the opportunity to link up with the ambitious vision of bringing automation into design for manufacturing and construction.
I was responsible for developing pipelines to optimise and simplify fabrication processes to allow clients to minimise risk and errors.

From 2021 to 2024 at Mott MacDonald Australia, I applied my technical skills and strategic vision to integrate new technologies such as AI, web app development, process automation, and custom solutions. I bridged the gap between automation and practice, led and mentored diverse teams, collaborated with different departments and digital communities, balanced strategic planning and operational duties, and engaged in continuous learning and professional development.

As a Digital Product Design Manager at AECOM Australia since 2024, I focus on empowering the team with the autonomy needed to deliver exceptional work while ensuring alignment with business objectives. Continuous communication keeps everyone informed and aligned with our adaptable roadmap, allowing us to adjust plans based on new information or changing circumstances.

I strongly believe that creating the right workflow is a tremendous opportunity to optimize procedures and minimize risk. My purpose is always to find the best process and strive to bring real change to the construction industry. Whether developing new workflows for parametric modelling, integrating automation systems into existing workflows, or designing custom software solutions, I always look for new ways to push the boundaries and drive meaningful change in the AEC industry.
Of course, this computational approach applies to my life, too.
Look forward, always.
