Workshops
Love to Build
By combining my enthusiasm for design experimentation, construction, and architectural knowledge I create unique design characters for the public. I enjoy making something that did not previously exist a reality via diligent effort and perseverance.
Being able to share such experiences with others is part of the learning journey and joy, whether it's through a household item or a large-scale structure.
In these workshops, I employ a range of design techniques to produce sophisticated and elegant creations that are also practical for regular needs. My love of the process drives my interest in design and construction.
My workshops are focused on experimentation. My hope is to create buildings and places that are quaint, personal and expressive of the people that live in them. So, my process involves combining traditional and more advanced fabrication techniques with different building materials to bring a unique design character to the end result.
Studio Life
Cardiff & London 2019
In Bake My Wall studio we explored new ways of thinking about the genesis of shape and form. Creative minds from different backgrounds joined and created a series of proposals using architectural computation for the creation of a partitioning system.

InFlux : the outcome of exploration of the fabrication and assembly of double-curved complex geometries through the integration of generative design techniques and robotic milling strategies. The research initiated on the material behaviour of concrete in 2014 has been developed in the 2015 cycle by further investigations linking geometry, material, and structure. Realized as a wall with 2.2 meters in height, 4 meters in width, and a varying depth of 3 – 25 cm, InFlux has been developed, fabricated and assembled in 7 days.

Callipod : the outcome of an investigation which has explored earth scaffolding, fabric formwork, and concrete materiality. The means of exposing the structural behaviour of concrete across its fluid nature have formulated the starting point of the research agenda. Throughout the design explorations, the integration of structural and material properties of concrete with various architectural parameters, which are essential in generating diverse spatial qualities have remained a major focus. Being 2.1 meters tall and 4.4 meters wide, the pavilion has been realized within a period of one week.
