Skeno Design engages in architectural and design projects using state-of-the-art methods for digital fabrication in combination with computational design tools.
Skeno was founded in 2019 and is based in Munich, Germany. Since then, Skeno creates computer generated imagery across multiple disciplines for international clients and also engages in architectural and design projects.
The name Skeno is derived from an abbreviation of the German word for scenography - Skenographie. As transmitted by Vitruvius in his 7th book of De architectura, the ancient Greek art of creating painted illusions for backdrops of theater scenes - now called scenography - was invented by Agatharchus, a greek painter who lived during the 5th century BC. It is assumed that Agatharchus already incorporated first forms of perspective in his paintings in order to deliver a perfect illusion a long time before a geometrically correct construction of perspective was established by Filippo Brunelleschi in Florence, Italy, during the 14th century.
