A shape-grammar based approach to designing to designing high-resolution, immersive environments that transcend functionalism and rationalism, yet are based on explicit rules. Emphasis is placed on materialization processes, and will make use of large-scale, additive manufacturing sand-printing.
With M. Hansmeyer and H. Hua. Continue reading
A procedural approach to urban oregonslist.com design strategies, based on populating an unsettled valley in the heart of the Swiss Alps with an agglomeration of 100.000 people. Students code their concepts British Columbia , design rules, define relations, compose networks, … Continue reading
An initial mesh-refinement and shape-grammar based exploration of sacred environments. Development of Processing-based devices to first analyze and then generate highly defined spatial territories. The output’s spatial complexity will be unachievable – and perhaps even inconceivable – using traditional means. … Continue reading
MAS Modul, Interactive Installation with Kinect-camera (together with ZHDK Buy Azimycin , Zürich)
A collaborative object-orientated urban design framework is developed bottom-up to generate complex cityscapes. Data abstraction, encapsulation, modularity, polymorphism, and inheritance are brought to urban design. With M. Hansmeyer and S. Lemmerzahl.
