Aimilios Davlantis Lo
Born and raised in Greece, Aimilios grew up as the son of two practising architects. He is a licensed architect himself, and his practice centres on the convergence of mechanical engineering and art.

Since 2015 Aimilios has been developing and building prototypes, inventions, and specially designed tools in his personal machine shop. He has worked on various projects, from making architectural models for MoMa's 2018 exhibit "Towards Concrete Utopia", to calibrating equipment used to mass-produce swabs for COVID-19 tests.
