architectural design research

.

Currently, I’m reading for a practice-based phD within the PEP programme initiated by TU Berlin. My project “SPATIAL DRAWING: Thinking with Materials through Movement” explores an embodied approach to digital drawing, addressing the potential of XR as a design tool with a focus on drawing architectural materials in space.

2023  Spatial Drawing - thinking with materials through movement

.

experimental architecture

.

Within a framework of collaboration between the Excellence Cluster
« Matters of Activity » Image | Space | Material and the Weissensee Kunsthochschule - Department of Textile and Material Design in Berlin, I worked on several projects exploring the idea of AR assisted construction in architecture. A ‘Minimal Machines’ framework was developed, also creating new architectural typologies within an emerging field of sustainable architectural structures produced with filament yarns through a technique of spatial winding. 

In particular, this project prioritised the process of making and the relations between body, space and material - placing tacit knowledge at the forefront and treating this as a valuable technology.

Between 2017  and 2019 I studied at the renowned ITECH programme at the Institute of Computational Design and Construction [IntCDC] and the Institue of Building Structures [itke] in Stuttgart, Germany. After graduating in 2018, I also worked with several researchers at the institutes
