How can we utilize automation to rethink the way we design and live in the countryside? This project explores the use of automated tools and computational design to propose a new way of living in rapidly depopulating rural areas.
I started Body Amplification Devices, a digitally enabled wearables brand, as a platform for using digital tools such as algorithmic modelling and 3D printing to rethink the way we produce and consume fashion accessories. The brand has garnered attention, receiving a grant and support from Atelier100, H&M and Ikea's design incubator.
This proposal for Icon's Initiative 99 was designed alongside Sara Martinez Zamora and explores the use of different geometric systems that work well with printing toolpaths to create homes that improve elderly living.
What does the future home look like? This project envisions the home as a mechanical organism that can sustain itself off-grid.
While working for SO-IL I led the design for a one-person country house in upsatate New York.
I taught a workshop at The Barlett School of Architecture focused on using computational design tools along with Augmented Reality tool Fologram in order to create aggregations of discreet architectural components within a scanned space. The goal being to create user-friendly digital tools to allow individuals to transform their every-day spaces.
The notion of temporariness is of great interst to me. Why is most architecture sempiternal? This pavilion for Burning Man explores the theme of time in architecture. The space is fully made out of helium balloons. As the festival goes on, the pavilion deflates, changing its form and the experience around it.
I have been working as a lead designer on the first purpose-built artificial intelligence lab which will soon open in Shanghai. Along with colleagues at PLP Architecture, we conceived the project from its concept design all the way to its design development phases. The building is currently under construction and soon to be completed.
How can architecture be automated? This project explores an architecture fully built out of discreet components which are designed to support a robotic fabrication and assembly process. It was shortlisted in the Bentley x Dezeen Future of Luxury Retail Competition
I collaborated with SANAA, the Pritzker winning architecture firm, developing a neighborhood park system proposal for Chicago's Bronzeville neighbourhood. The proposal was exhibited in the Chicago Architecture Biennial.
Working with new materials and maximizing their properties is at the core of my practice. This pavilion is built fully out of carbon fibre and resin. It was born from the exploration of the structural capacities of carbon fibre fabric when reinforced with resin. The form allows for the carbon fibre to be self-supporting.
I used a CNC to create this commissioned Naoshima Island model for Wrightwood 659 gallery in Chicago.
Today, architects have stopped using form and geometry as the means of giving spaces agency. This project explores the utilization of geometric systems that can be computationally deployed on different landscpes and spaces to create highly specific spatial conditions.
All the models in the images below were generated computationally and digitally fabricated with CNC, laser cutter and 3D printing.
