Fabrication studies for punched metal screen facade explores variations in hole diameter per dye sizing and the incremental range between punches. The pattern of the punches are sized to suggest shading as light filters through the leaves of a forest canopy.

-Parametric exploration; manipulation of polyline control points.

-Concept installation; lightweight parametric surface undulating above a thick atmosphere induced with varying luminous layers.

-Python scripted structural system in collaboration with membrane created by Erick Katzenstein. Wrapping the structure is a form-fitting membrane, via a definition in grasshopper utilizing Kangaroo and WeaverBird. Animation of process to follow…

-Testing of a particle system written with Python; the particles are reacting to attractors, velocity, cohesion, and gravity within a field aggregating with minimum and maximum ‘strut’ lengths.

-Images from testing of the fibrous scaffolding system.

-Increasing cultural infatuations with technology and biology have created a society of biophilia and technophilia, where these ideaologies have seeped into nearly every facet of human existence. With architecture dependantly bound to the technologies of human creation, as we are able to manipulate biological matter at the unit of the molecule, simulate complex biological systems […]

The Stratus Project, Geoff Thün and Kathy Velikov The Stratus Project develops a kinetic interior envelope, seemingly alive with sensors and intelligence, set into motion based on sensory input to affect the atmosphere that it surrounds, and in continual information exchange and dialogue with breather and environment. The fully realized system will develop a series […]

-New visualizations for Fall 2009 Huron River Watershed Council Headquarters. The model was parametrically built using Grasshopper following circulation curves in the landscape.

-In thinking through the development of the project I am attempting to set up a narrative that ties into future aspirations of the city [Chicago], post-human futures, and biotechnical mergers. The project is attempting to achieve an architecture which would lay forth one possible scenario culminating from the merger of biology and technology where body/building […]
