About 

My interest lies in improved environmental and structural performances of computationally driven design. From the approach of systems thinking which focuses on a general assembly of parts to form a whole, through material computation, evolutionary algorithms, embedded parameters of manufacturing and fabrication methods, and cost constraints. As platforms merge, computational design tools can seamlessly stream data to drive results between architects, designers, artists, and engineers.  

My contribution includes of a thorough knowledge of the specific concepts, techniques, and practices within the domain of emergent technologies in design and their effect on the production of built architectures. As well as artifacts capacity for critical structural, spatial, environmental analysis, and a mindfulness of exceptional design and detail refinement. My interest in scale ranges from material systems in the form of pavilions, to city systems and urban ecologies. As a designer, my contributions include various generative design techniques, physical and digital computation, environmental analyses, principal FEA and computational fluid dynamics studies.
