-January 07, beginning of digital mania thesis project; biophilia + technophilia. Opening Presentation Narrative: Biophilia + Technophilia (Slide 1) The project manual, entitled Biophilia + Technophilia attempts to decipher trends emerging within architectural design (since the early sixties[from Archigram to Buckminster Fuller to Phillip Beasley) to incorporate or draw upon a connection between human networks […]

-Final rendered perspectives from the In_Flux Comprehensive Studio; more information will be published shortly.

-Final design for Advanced Material Structures; Biaxial Carbon Fiber Bus Shelter.

-Third iteration in the design of the carbon fiber bus shelter system. The polystyrene form has been broken down into modular components for more efficient transportation to and installation on the site. The components will be attached on site, where a PTFE-Kevlar reinforced woven fabric will be added to the roof and walls. 1″ carbon […]

-Continuing the discourse on technologies role in architecture, Biophilia + Technophilia interjects with a series of polemical essays on architectures role via the coevolution of technology and biology. The text alludes to an architecture where constructs are built of biotechnical mergers, from the bottom-up through molecular processes where they are able to adapt, respond, and […]

-Latest iteration of multi-family housing project for Chicago, IL (in_flux studio); pre-submittal. More on this project will be posted next month. -JB

-Michael Young’s thesis and final presentation videos from Sci-Arc in Los Angeles, California.

-Bus shelter concept exploring the use of carbon fiber as a primary material through a woven network of strips following stress vectors in the form. Using ANSYS structural software in conjunction with a parametric modeler, vector stress points will inform layering of carbon fiber strips. The initial form of the bus shelter would be cut […]
