DESCRIPTION
Design and build aims to explore material computation, generative design and largescale fabrication and assembly processes. The research explores both curved folding and robotic incremental sheet forming (SPIFF) techniques, where small indents on curved folded panels increases structural performance. The installation took only three weeks to construct despite its complex geometry. As a robotic specialist, I was responsible for the design and fabrication of ‘SPIFFed’ panels as well as the projects’ video documentation. The film was selected to be presented at the Robots in Architecture Conference 2018 and can be found on Vimeo at: https://vimeo.com/287453496

VARIATION implies varying conditions, characteristics, and aspects that may be based on performative aspects (related to functional, structural, and/or environmental needs) and may be customized according to individual and personalized specifications. The nature of needs requires corresponding diferentiation along our structure, at macro, meso and micro scale.

DESCRIPTION
Conveniently located between Irkutsk and Angarsk, Malaya Elanka has a great potential to become an extension to both cities and attract people with an offer that connot be found anywhere else in the region. Unlike the typical Russian microdistrict model with highrise buildings and little programmatic diversity. Malaya Elanka offers different housing typologies that have been weaved together with commercial and community facilities as well as spatious green spaces to form a selfsufficient community and a city extension. The motorway dissecting the site in the middle has been interpreted as a strip mall that at the other side doubles as the commercial center of the development with squares, pedestrian zones and cultural facilties.

The Architectural Association London, UK 2018 Alina Hramyka, Brittney Dillon Climatic change coupled with desertification processes impacting cities located around the Mediterranean, has raised serious questions for the capability of the affected cities to adapt to the rapidly changing environmental conditions. This research aims to design small-scale tower structures and shading devices in Nicosia, Cyprus through employing environmental analyses within a generative design process to create an intelligent, adaptive system. Guided by Bernoulli’s principles, geometrical design parameters acquired from fluid simulations, alongside solar analyses of the existing city fabric, were used to generate an evolutionary algorithm for design. The research develops a methodology to facilitate environmental flows in urban architectural systems, generating cooling processes in arid environments that facilitate the adaptation of cities to changes in climatic and environmental conditions.
