About

Hello. I live in New York and work at The Living. I hold a graduate degree from Columbia University's GSAPP and an undergraduate architecture degree from the University of Texas at Austin. I have more than seven years of professional experience at noted architecture firms, including New York-based Rogers Marvel Architects and SOM. I also tackle freelance graphic and photography work with my partner in crime, the multi-talented Jackie Caradonio at Lion in Oil. In addition, I teach a course, Hacking the Urban Experience, at Columbia. View my CV here: CV(html). Thanks and have a nice day.

optimizing smart component geometry

component

Part of the Adaptive Formulations visual studies course taught in conjunction with structural engineers from Buro Happold. We were designing parametric skin components in catia then using optimization software modeFrontier to generate a large design space of high performing designs. The size of the apertures of this system are dependent on the surface deformation of the underlying base surface, and I’m testing for a base surface with a maximum deflection that results in the largest aperture size.
