Module development
During the first two weeks of studio, we were asked to develop a module or one aspect of our building based on the natural element we’ve chosen to mimic. I naturally chose the column as my module and attempted to mimic the process of …

Assignment 1
In the nature, plants and organisms simply transform or move to maximize access to natural resources such as sunlight or minimize exposure to other elements. While these characteristics might not directly translate into a building form or structure, the idea of transformability can play an integral role in creating a built environment that responds to […]
Reflection on Bio-strucutre work
Beginning the first design term by looking at a micro scale was a very uncommon task. Usually, designers start from the bottom up, meaning that we work through the larger issues before considering the details. However, I found this exercise … Continue reading →

Project Reflection
I struggled in the beginning of this assignment because I was hoping to develop a modular structure that was directly based on biomimicry. What I found was that I was trying to mimic nature too closely and created too narrow of a vision. I ended up basing my project on geometry and moving away from […]
Urban-Grove……MICRO Bio-structure experiment…..
Precedent MICRO Bio-structure project was great opportunity to explore the connections between surrounding nature and built environment. Even we have gathered huge amount of scientific knowledge today, nature still holds some secretes within it and we need to explore them. For thesis project at South Waterfront I was looking for particular organism, which will inspire […]
