Our first concrete prototypes de-molded and "assembled." We ran into problems during the casting process and will need to alter the geometry to allow for less volume/pressure to build up where the legs meet. Collaborator: Ryan Goold Advisor: Tsz Yan Ng

This is an initial prototype for a concrete component which will aggregate to create a larger concrete lattice structure. The image above is showing PETG folded formwork with robotically bent steel rod reinforcement.

Mappae Mundi | Arch 516 : Representation | Mapping an Airport
While travelling your life becomes fixated on and represented by your "personal belongings". This drawing begins to map out the various ways one may travel through an airport with their personal luggage and compare the different paths someone and their luggage may take. A checked bag and its owner travel to their airplane in a completely different way then someone who travels with hand luggage.
