Bauhaus 4.0 – Fibrous Systems
Recent developments in computational design and robotic manufacturing open up new possibilities for production and materialization, challenging designers to reconsider the entire design-to-production chain. Initially developed for factory automation, industrial robots revolutionized creative disciplines where architects, artists and designers constantly push the limits of what […]

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 […]

SELF-SHAPING TEXTILES: Form-finding of tensile surface structures through 3D printing on pre-stressed fabric
Textiles have been used in architecture ever since humankind began to build. Already nomadic tribes have used their tensile strength, flexibility and adaptability to build their first shelters. Nowadays, the development of highly engineered fibers with growing strength-to-weight ratio as well as new production technologies […]

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 […]
