Waffle Haus was a studio-wide exploration into the potential role of AI and advanced fabrication in architecture. Under the direction of Kory Bieg, our studio manually iterated on AI-generated images before working together in teams to complete the project's fabrication through CNC milling and 3D printing. The project itself consists of modular "boulders" cut from PETG sheets. These boulders were further adorned with aluminum-cut fins, and fastened with 3D-printed brackets.

The project was initially meant to serve as the entry and backdrop for a VR exhibit at a local film festival, but the creators of the exhibit ran into complications and we chose to temporarily display the project on the University of Texas's campus instead.

During the fabrication of the project, I was in charge of the research and handling of materials, and I eventually ended up creating most of the fabrication files and overseeing most of the CNC milling. I also designed and managed the 3D printing of a smaller secondary bracket, as our original bracket was proving to print too slowly to be able to meet our deadlines.
