From Code to Craft to Construction 

Intelligent Systems: Computation to Fabrication

Computation and fabrication operate as a unified design and research framework in my work, linking conceptual exploration, environmental performance, material intelligence, and fabrication economy. Computational methods—parametric modeling, algorithmic design, physical computing, and AI-assisted workflows—are employed not as stylistic tools, but as systems for managing complexity, evaluating design decisions, and embedding intelligence into architectural processes across scales.

 

Digital fabrication extends these computational logics into material production through robotic manufacturing, CNC machining, additive manufacturing, and hybrid analog–digital workflows. Attention to fabrication economy ensures that design intelligence is balanced with efficiency, constructability, and resource responsibility, aligning digital ambition with real-world constraints. Together, computation, physical computing, and fabrication enable an architecture that is informed, performative, and materially grounded—bridging speculative research, teaching, and built reality within contemporary modes of production.
