MAIN PROJECTS
|
- Dynamic Ornament: My doctoral thesis research investigates the architectural potential of digital information, using prototypes to explore the integration of dynamic information in the architectural environment. The discourse of architectural ornament offers a series of strategies for communicating information in buildings, strategies that can inform the integration of dynamic sensor data in the built environment. 'Dynamic ornament' is a term that describes interactive interventions conceived as a permanent element of the building while occupying the marginal surface realm typically claimed by ornament.
- Superstudio: Participant in a Swiss National Science Foundation project that involves the formulation of a vision for the design studio of the future, influenced by innovations in technology for design, communications, and project management.
