An Object of Craft for a Pioneer Age

Drawn from the beauty of simplicity

   A basket woven of strands, form and function VU derives its title from its geometric makeup.  Re-adapted from earlier studies is weaving, VU, derived in grasshopper, explores the basic u v structure of a nurbs surface and exploits this grid as a template for exploring a warp and weft relationship of a series of [...]

Insert, Reverse, Repeat, Cross NIC NAC, a modular fabric, creates a system by which a small tow dimensionally packable module can be cut with minimum material waste and coupled together with only a small amount of surface area reduction in overlap.  The resulting fabric creates a continuous surface which is flexible, yet can hold form [...]

   Rethinking the Brick as a Growable Programable Diverse Functioning System   Organization: organic structure; composition Organic: characterized by the systematic arrangement of parts Organism: Any complex thing or system having properties and functions determined not only by the properties and relation of the individual parts, but of the whole that they compose and by [...]

     Infinite Modular Illumination Scape   (n) the standard mathematical nomenclature for an infinite variable. Bloom, “to glow with warmth or with a warm color” / “to produce or yield blossoms” The (n)-bloom system works around the concept of infinity.  Applying the tangential continuity of the sin() curve as a base geometric structure, interplay [...]

Stackable, Flipable, Packable, Lovable, Huggable, Vertablock vertaBlock, a conceptual study in luminaires, is inspired by the vertebrae as an objects, a shell which is identifiable in a form derived to meet its function as a stacked housing for communications hardware.  Much like the vertebrate of the human back, the geometry allows for a nested stacking, [...]

     Mathematical Materiality  Materializing the construction method used to derive a bezier curve produces a beautiful spatial fabric which acts as a structural bridge between structural moments and an LED tube light.  The assembly of these modules into larger clusters through magnetic sphere's at the structural joints allows the user to modulate the density [...]

   The Complete Sushi Dish Developed from the [}{] series, Wasabi consists of two mirrored container surfaces which provide four bays for different mixes of soy sauce, a central pore for wasabi, and four flaps for the placement of ginger while allowing for the placement of chopsticks within the contour of the vessel. The reverse [...]
