Hand PupPet is an experiment in digital puppetry.

Hand PupPet is an experiment in digital puppetry. A hand creature transcends the two dimensionality of video and evokes a mischievous and whimsical being that invites audience members to interact, delight and unwittingly anthropomorphize the digital. ...CONTINUE READING »

The Parametric Courante is an exploratory research project that consists of a research paper on Cardioid function in the broader context of parametric equation, and a series of particular mathematical visualizations that moves like an elegant Baroque Dance.

The research component is inspired by the 19 century discovery of The Cardioid Equation. In the paper I study the history and the function of The Cardioid Equation. I analyze the parametric potentials in its geometry.

Fostering animals plays a critical role in lowering euthanasia rates. Fostr.org aims to educate and recruit New Yorkers to save animals and give them temporary living situations.

This thesis proposes to develop a modular, structural and active piece, something like a “kinetic brick”.

Can technology change the way of thinking and doing architecture?
Buildings should be capable to transform as a result of the interaction with people’s practices.
Transformable architecture is a series of experiments exploring math, geometry, mechanisms and ways to generate an interactive surface. Using digital tools and material properties...CONTINUE READING »

What if buildings could feel? What if these could adapt in form, shape or color to respond to the environment? I am proposing we design buildings as living systems that can positively impact our lives and that of our urban ecology.

Architecture is a manifestation of social and cultural values. Today buildings consume more energy than any other sector; these are also the largest contributors to climate change. Consequently, architecture has the potential to direct the impact that buildings have on the environment. This thesis seeks to re-examine, re-imagine the processes...CONTINUE READING »

Through an interactive website and a collection of books, “Drawing Well-Being” aims to raise awareness of the living standards and development of the world’s countries by comparatively visualizing data provided by the United Nations.

The data visualized on drawingwellbeing.com and in four sample books, which focus on Chile, India, Senegal and the U.S. respectively, corresponds to a selection of data published in the UN’s Human Development Report 2011, Sustainability and Equity: A Better Future for All. Both the books and the website were designed...CONTINUE READING »
