Throughout the development of my work, perception of design and architecture was always informed from both a compositional and curatorial standpoint. Architecture as exhibition, occupant as viewer and director of space. The collection of works at hand focus around these concepts while reorganizing space as highly dependent on the users experiential aspect and less a focus on impersonal rational design formulas.
The term developed for this style of design process along the way was rational hedonism. A process heavily focused on the individual experience and the joy/ pleasure of design achieved on multiple levels of aesthetics and function while maintained a ground base of rational operations achieved via algorithms, equations, or deconstructions of other mediums to a core set of numbers/grids.
Art, architecture, and design should not exist on separate platforms but should be explored in conversation with each other and inform and grow through examining the world around us and the fields existing outside of the arts.
