As an architectural researcher specializing in computational tectonics, the lab advances regenerative design through three interconnected streams:
- Computationally Driven Material Ecologies,
- Circular Robotic Fabrication for Performance,
- Living & Regenerative Architectures.
Each stream is explored across five primary categories: design method, fabrication process, building material, construction system, and environmental system. Together, these approaches extend the Cradle-to-Cradle vision into a new era of performance–driven, circular, living architecture.
Research Stream2
Circular Robotic Fabrication for Performance extends the circular economy principles—Reduce, Reuse, Recycle—by adding two new resources: human parameters and biological. Robotic 3D printing translates anthropometric data and waste–derived feedstocks into…
Research Stream3
Living and Regenerative Architectures explore how living organisms can be embedded into building materials. In particular, additive manufacturing transcends the inert nature of matter by transforming materials into active agents, where printed elements serve as…
Research Stream1
Computationally Driven Material Ecologies employ a data–driven approach—including computational design, structural simulation, and toolpath planning—to fine–tune digital fabrication processes and customize material performance and properties. Within additive…
