An algorithmic generator of massing opportunities for a three dimensional matrix of space. The current iteration quantifies and produces binary strings for each permutation. The next phase is to apply pattern recognition and filtering, and then to layer on structural constraints.

Recent trends in building systems look toward the internet of things. However, there are missed opportunities to progress the day-to-day components of built spaces as well as their underlying infrastructures.

What does the built environment look like when it’s no longer on Earth? Looking forward to a time where humanity inhabits new environments, these studies contemplate the real estate of space.

Photographic documentation of the built environment serves to supplement an understanding of the industry which created it. This research studies architectural typologies, urban design, and social and environmental context. Portfolio

In conjunction with building system technologies, the study of building analytics helps to guide future developments. Detailed data can be utilized in forecasting, policy changes, user incentive programs, and much more.

With few exceptions, the current state of design and construction continues through a limited range of building typologies and product types. Where can the boundaries and constraints be expanded and broken to realize new possiblities.
