SELF-SHAPING TEXTILES / PhD defense and publication
On the 14th of December 2021 I defended my doctoral research entitled SELF-SHAPING TEXTILES: Form-Finding of Tensile Surface Structures through 3D Printing on Pre-stressed Fabric at the TU Berlin.I would like to thank my supervisors and all the members of the doctoral examination board: Prof. […]

3D printing from recycled waste /// Collaboration with The New Raw
In summer 2018 I had the opportunity to collaborate with Foteini Setaki and Panos Sakkas from ΤHE NEW RAW on the Second Nature Project, designing patterns for the artifacts 3D printed from the recycled marine plastic waste. Project was later exhibited by the Aikaterini Laskaridis Foundation in […]

ISOpatterns
The following wooden panels are result of the material-informed design exploration. In this case both panels are fabricated using 3 axis CNC-milling machine in Multiplex pine wood. A doubly-curved surface cuts through different layers of wood and creates linear patterns with various color tones. The […]

Surface articulation through digital design and fabrication tools
Ongoing research on surface articulation using CNC-milling manufacturing processes. Various fabrication strategies are applied to doubly-curves surface geometries in order to increase efficiency of the production and integrate limitations and constraints of the machines into the very early stage of the design process. CASE STUDY_01 Fabrication […]
