3D Printed Ceramics
The blue and green vases will be displayed at the annual Art Association Members’ Exhibition from April 26 to May 27. They were designed using generative systems in computational design and then digitally crafted using a clay 3D printer. The finishes […]
Busan Opera House
The proposal consists of an organic building-scape which allows for a variety of recreational and educational activities while creating a cultural icon for Busan. The building is organized around three principal wavelengths generated parametrically based on the pre-existing local tensions: a stunning ocean view to the west, a bustling city to the east, and a […]
Pushinsky Cinema Moscow
This project deals with, on the one hand, preservation of the ¨snow clad¨ character of the “White City”, and on the other, the complex dynamics that the new material gives expression to. In bringing back the Pushkinsky cinema to the city, this proposal establishes a continuation of the “White City”; analogically, of the material and […]
Blues Point House
This is a concept for a house that I designed at Tony Owen Partners. The house was generated using a system which consists of the use of control points in responsive manners according to local tensions; the sub-location of the control points allows for manipulation of the overall form which is on a spline surface […]
Parametric Studies For A Responsive Surface
UTS University of Technology Sydney, AU, Master of Digital Architecture. 1.1 Morphogenesis and Epigenesis in Bilogical Systems “The fashionable ideology of ultra-Darwinism, which reduces organisms to little more than machines for the replication of DNA, is gradually being replaced by a more holistic trajectory in which life is considered to depend upon complex interactions that […]
Tokyo Fashion Museum
The challenge consisted of designing a 100 meter high tower-museum, containing exhibition areas of 20th century fashion history and becoming a landmark for Tokyo. The project design is in harmony with contemporary Japanese architecture, a symbol of vanguard and daring, in addition to serving as a landmark for Tokyo.
“Surface-To-Strand Morphologies” Studio
“This ten-day workshop focused on surface-to-strand morphologies in terms of formal, spatial, and performative qualities. Th is new sensibility is a hybrid of structural and envelope logics which is adaptable in terms of allowing continuous gradients of structure, aperture, and surface articulation. By interweaving surface and vector geometries, we open up a […]
Performative Membrane Spaces
“The intensive studio experimented with form-finding procedures for lightweight membrane and cable-net structures. Single membrane patches and membrane assemblies were analysed with regards to their environmental performance, considering their geometry and orientation towards environmental input within a specific context. Light (luminous flow, illuminance, shading and self-shading) and airflow studies informed the design of specific membrane […]
