The Dust Lamp, A Simple Tool To Observe Airborne... →
How does one capture a gaseous form? How can I encapsulate this form? Here is a link to observe airborne particle behaviour.

In dialogue with form
Form is everywhere. From geometric constructs to the complexities of nature, form communicates the intent of the artist-designer. It assumes the role of language, it becomes his voice which he employs to express his will - like the material he sculpts to engage his audience in conversation.
The making of form involves a linear process where individual actions are thought and later composed. Each...

Polygonal Branching, Simulation of Crystal Growth...
Based on a simple propagation behavior. This exercise simulates growth patterns via the application of branching systems described by Robert Hodgin @ flight404. The process attempts to mimic supersaturation whereby objects gain mass in relation to its size. Successive generations are diminished duplicates of their parents with variable attributes such as size and shape. Their positions are...

Style, Content, Visualisation
During a conversation with Prof Lev, I asked him “what kind of visualisation would make one turn around to take a look?”
Following that was several examples of successful visualisations with focus not only on content but also the strategy to derive the visualisation - the type of representation which was radical, fresh or new.
In my own words, heres what i learnt, “to be...

The future is parametric →
In Venice last week, Patrik Schumacher, partner at Zaha Hadid Architects, hailed parametricism as the great new style after modernism.
It’ll probably take a good 10 years to reach a status of new style. At this moment, it seems as if its inaccessible status of being experimental due to lack of public knowledge and interest to largely computer generated/dominated environments impedes its...

Tangential Construct →
Form constructs mediate and regulate surface performance in an expression of mathematical sequence. The adaptation emerges and diverges from a previous open ended condition to a new open ended condition. Geometrical and natural surfaces create architectural space but do not intersect.
Function and form have always been the subject of interest for designers. The problem though is that form has...
