Sustainable agricultural practices
The sketches embark on an architectural exploration of residential buildings, leveraging the capabilities of Midjourney AI. This endeavor seeks to reconceptualize the application of biomaterials such as Mycelium (a special blend of mushroom roots and crop waste, that could grow and self-assemble in 3D-printed PLA molds), transforming it, from a mere structural element, to a […]

Science investigates exact forms. Design initiates novel forms. A scientific hypothesis is not the same thing as a design hypothesis. A […]
Generative Systems 2008 | 2010
This is the system for a tall building that I designed in the Smart Geometry 2009 workshop in San Francisco. The project was selected to be presented on the conference day at the Intercontinental Hotel. Ben Doherty in his lecture entitled “Notion Parallax” exhibited the principal features of this project; the design process and […]
