Robotics for Ecological Buildings: STRAW
This work investigates the structural potential of straw in its raw, unprocessed state — exploiting its natural wilderness and fibrous friction to build systems from its inherent properties. By coupling these material behaviors with robotic fabrication, the process becomes parameterized, enabling a vernacular material to be deployed within a precise and predictable architectural system. Introduction … Read more
Urban Quant Tool
Urban Quant is a data‑driven urban design tool delivering area and massing analyses for buildings and open spaces. It calculates Built‑Up Area (BUA), Gross Floor Area (GFA), service/core areas and building levels, integrating solar exposure and sun‑hour simulations. The platform converts regulatory, programmatic, contextual inputs into comparable scenarios, visualizations, and reports for architects. Area distribution … Read more

Concept Inspiration Creating a tensile pavilion structure based on Felix Candela‘s arch and aisle geometric logistics and diagrams. Iterative design approach based on ‘anchor points’ on a frame. Exploring scalable methodology for Kangaroo based computational design processes. ‘Iglesia de la Medalla Milagrosa‘ Felix Candela – photo by Lola Alvarez Bravo, 1954 Felix Candela Drawings and … Read more
Reciprocal Canopy
Designed for the IAAC rooftop, this pavilion merges computational design with advanced robotic fabrication. The geometry originates in Grasshopper, where a basic mesh is transformed into an optimized vault using Kangaroo’s physics-based dynamic relaxation. A reciprocal frame pattern is then applied, translating the continuous shell into short, mutually supporting timber pieces. Because every interlocking element … Read more
Arcada Viva
The project situates the pavilion within the urban fabric of Plaça Reial, accompanied by initial conceptual sketches that explore a shell-like structure emerging from the geometry and atmosphere of the square. SITE INSPIRATION WORKFLOW PSEUDO CODE RENDERS
Syntactic Assemblage
This project explores the computational assembly of components to form a multi-functional complex. By translating configurations into graphs, we applied Space Syntax logic to evaluate three key values : Depth, Integration, and Choice. The optimal architecture was selected based on the balanced symmetry of these indices. Finally, these analytical values directly guided the spatial programming, … Read more
Cerro Alegre
This project investigates modular construction through the iterative computational assemblage of four distinct components. Utilizing custom algorithmic methods—including curve following, slope evaluation, and proximity optimization—the project guides growth through thousands of permutations and handle rotations. The study achieves robust success rates in complex vertical stacking and terrace connectivity. The final architectural form integrates structural systems … Read more
