Hermano Luz Rodrigues (Recife, Brazil) is a PhD researcher at the Centre for Creative Technologies, University of Galway (Ireland). His research explores how visualization technologies shape understanding and decision-making in contemporary urban design and public art projects.
He holds a Master’s in Design Studies from the Harvard University Graduate School of Design, supported by the Claudio Haddad Family Fellowship, and a Master of Arts from the University of Castilla-La Mancha (Spain), through a Fundación Carolina scholarship. He has also received scholarships to study at the Salzburg Summer Academy (Austria) and the School of Visual Arts Parque Lage (Brazil), along with grants and residencies from institutions such as Harvard’s David Rockefeller Center for Latin American Studies, FAAP University, and the Museum of Contemporary Art of Sorocaba (MACS).
He has presented and exhibited his research internationally as practitioner and researcher. From 2019 to 2021, he was a curator at the Harvard GSD Kirkland Gallery, helping the gallery transition to an experimental digital format during the pandemic. Hermano also regularly contributes to community-engaging public design projects as a computational design researcher. He has contributed to projects by Matthew Mazzotta, Tools For Action Foundation, Ghana Think Tank, Sujin Lim, UrbanLab Galway, and several others.
