Complex urban futures: Design science for flux territories (2021)
Book Chapter

Book description:
How should we train? What should we learn? What is our value? Disruptive technologies have increased speculation about what it means to be an architect. Innovations simultaneously offer great promise and potential risk to design pr... Read More about Complex urban futures: Design science for flux territories.

Fabrication-aware parametric design of segmented concrete shells (2021)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Research is underway to explore the potential of using structurally efficient non-prismatic geometries to substantially reduce the amount of concrete in building elements, thus reducing their carbon footprint. In particular, the benefits of using thi... Read More about Fabrication-aware parametric design of segmented concrete shells.

A path towards the off-site automated fabrication of segmented concrete shells for building floors (2021)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Concrete shells are a more sustainable alternative than plates as building fl oors, thanks to their eff ective use of concrete in compression. Although the construction of these geometrically complex structures becomes more challenging, off -site aut...

Hive (2021)
Exhibition / Performance

Hive is a modular kinetic architecture inspired by bee colony behaviour. Certain types of Mexican honeybees produce a wavelike cascade by ‘shimmering’ when they feel threatened. When a wasp or another big insect come too close to the hive, the honeyb... Read More about Hive.
