Studio of Novel and Visionary Architecture
Student work of the Techniques in Digital Fabrication class
The work explores narratives and techniques of digital fabrication and the transformation of natural to simulated and then to synthetic materiality.
From the found object to the scanned object (natural to artificial).
From the scanned object to the modeled object (array models: module to system).
From the modeled and aggregated object to 3d printing (fabrication).

Student work of the Illustration and Rendering class
The work focuses on digital processes of increasing complexity. Speculative design sequence employs the modeling and scripting of objects, clusters, systems and landscapes and ultimately to new environmental realities.
Student work of the Illustration and Rendering class
The work focuses on narratives and concepts, technical and material specificity, new geometries, systems and simulating environmental realities. The outcome is a hybrid, layered and dynamic composition of objects at various scales. The work questions a preconceived banality of space and interrogates our perception of the familiar / unfamiliar. It adopts simulations for the making of objects as hybrids: natural / artificial, objects and / as landscapes.

This new complexity results in formations of hybrid systems, entropic landscapes, scripted cartographies, simulated grottoes and baroque ecologies.
The digital exploration of fractal simulates new cartographies, coastal necklace settlements, sand and silicone, pixelated patterns, parametric formations, simulated SimCities, dynamic formations and master plans. In effect digital imagery and technology is shaping the future landscapes.. The generation of form follows a process in which geometry, coded with material behavior, becomes responsive to fields of influence, physical forces and environmental dynamics. This new complexity results in formations of hybrid systems, entropic landscapes, scripted cartographies, simulated grottoes and baroque ecologies. The figurative object and the backdrop are fused into one layer of multiple spatial conditions. It is a zone.
