Material feedback in digital design tools
How do design tools feedback material behavior to the designer? Digital design tools in use by designers today provide a rich environment for design of form but offer little feedback of the material that ultimately realize that form. This lack of materialism limits the value of the design tool and …

Hybrid re Assembage : bridging traditional craft and digital design
Hybrid reAssemblage is a design gestalt that lies at the cross-section of digital design practice and the tactile qualities of traditional craft. It spans a territory in which the value of artifacts is produced through automated production as well as human subjectivity. This work is an exploration …

Embodied energetics : a digital design-production system for passive solar walls in Vinalhaven Island, Maine
I propose a digital design-production system to easily assemble, selectively disassemble, and reassemble novel passive solar walls. The problem statement I tackle is that all houses in Vinalhaven Island, Maine have high home-heating energy burden due to their thermally weak thin walls. Substituting …

Water-based digital design and fabrication : material, product, and architectural explorations in printing chitosan and its composites
Conventional digital design tools display little integration between shape formation and materialization resulting in disassociation between shape and matter. Contrarily, in the natural world shape and matter are structured through growth and adaptation, resulting in highly tunable and …
