Marco Alfaro

Associate | Head of Urbanism & Research

Marco Alfaro is Associate and Head of Urbanism & Research at Studio Tim Fu, leading work across masterplanning, large-scale developments and design research. His project leadership includes masterplanning in the Gulf region and the studio’s resort projects internationally.

He leads the studio’s research and development programme, advancing tools that connect computational experimentation with architectural practice. These include UrbanGPT for urban configuration, integrated visualisation tools, and agentic modelling and design systems such as STEF. His work brings these capabilities into the studio’s project workflows, informing how designs are explored, evaluated and developed.

His research also examines cinematic approaches to architectural visualisation, exploring how movement, sequence and atmosphere communicate spatial ideas. This extends his interest in how emerging technologies can support both the development of architecture and the experience of it.
