Sphere Packing v1.0.ms
This is a sphere packing algorithm, implemented in maxscript. It will pack a number a spheres inside a selected volume. Download the .ms file here.
Protocol Infrastructure
Protocol Infrastructure attempts to approach the design of infrastructure in an alternative, bottom-up fashion, that is not based on master planning but instead on the development of a protocol that would allow infrastructure to ’self-organize’, adapting at the same time to the conditions that it encounters. The characteristics of such an approach are illustrated through [...]
Aggregate! D.Areopagiti Competition (Special Mention)
Aggregate! is an entry for the D. Areopagiti competition that was asking for a design to negotiate the back facades of the buildings between Tsumi’s New Acropolis Museum and the Acropolis itself. The competition was a result of a larger discussion in relation to the new museum and its relation to the existing urban tissue [...]

Para*site. St Louis Follies Competition (Second Prize)
Parasitism is one version of symbiosis, a phenomenon in which two organisms which are phylogenetically unrelated co-exist over a prolonged period of time, and where the one of the two profits of the symbiosis while the other does not. In the city, many spaces are created using existing buildings as their structural systems. Spaces made [...]
Space Sound
Space_Sound is a study on the work of composer and architect Iannis Xenakis.
Iannis Xenakis used extensively computation and mathematics in order to create music. The initiative for this project was that while Iannis Xenakis is widely acclaimed and studied as an innovator in avant guard music, his work is not extensively examined in relation to [...]
Algorithmic Body
Algorithmic body is an experimentation on growing processes in an architectural context. It aims on one hand to develop an abstract architectural algorithmic process where the initial generative principle is internal to the process itself, without having to rely on aspects of the program or the site. On the other hand tries to test that [...]
KU School of Architecture (WA 2nd cycle Awards)
A design/research project, for a new school of architecture for the KU. The research begun as an exploration of the properties of lattice structures with rigid joins and the ways that they can be applied to architecture. Starting point was Frei Otto’s research on the same subject and it was evolved into a study of [...]
Temporary Outdoor Gallery
The design for a temporary gallery space with dimensions 10’X20’X10’. Ten transversal wooden ribs define the structure while the space between them gets filled with 1’X1’ translucent PVC panels. The panels carry holes, the size of which is defines by an attractor field (panels closer to the attractor have larger holes than the ones that [...]
