"I consider architecture as the result of the interrelationship between its constituent parts: aesthetic, tectonics, social, environmental, cultural, and organizational. When the project is focused only on one or a few of these levels, this is when hollow formalisms are generated.
In my Phd thesis I demonstrate that patterns are able to facilitate the interaction and integration of these constituents.
The rise of computation in architecture has had the effect of diluting the natural thought process of the architect and I am interested in helping to fill that theoretical void in parametric design.
A methodology based on my belief that Complexity Theory could be the basis for interpreting old architecture and the tools for generating the new.
The Systemic Thinking has demonstrated how the ‘Mechanicist’ model has completely failed due to it has concentrated its own attention on the separation and regimentation of disciplines, without considering the relationships between components and their interconnectivity.
