Research and fabrication residency at the Autodesk Pier 9 Advanced Fabrication Lab to push the boundaries of 3D printing and digital fabrication technology. Developed methodologies for multi-material integration and optimal geometry for structural and interior applications in 3D printing with a focus on architectural applications.

Design and Fabrication of the Parametric Component of the SOL Grotto Installation at the University of California Botanical Garden. The Instalation utilizes 1368 specially designed glass rods salvaged from the bankrupt Solynrda corporation to create a creekside retreat.

Research focused on the design and fabrication of 3d Printing systems and development of new advanced materials for architectural components using novel 3d printing materials and techniques. Devloped low cost, architectural scale building systems and novel materials for 3D printing including Salt, Wood, and Polymer Cement. Under direction of Prof. Ron Rael

The Branner Fellowship is a traveling fellowship awarded to a UC Berkeley Masters of Architecture Candidate for researching a specific topic in preparation for an architectural thesis. My research focused on Post Industrial Latent Space: the ways in which post industrial urban sites have been or could be re-envisioned. I developed a methodology to analyse each sites contextual connection to the cites they helped spawn, their ecological challenge and opportunity, palimpsest quality of building, and formal spatial potential. A video of my lecture on the subject can be found here: https://vimeo.com/37842564 My proposal and research documentation are available at: www.postindustriallatentspace.blogspot.comor the UC Berkeley College of Environmental Design Library
