Built

Spring 2024

The inherent constitution of a book is one of flatpacking; pages are efficiently arranged to create a manageable, mobile form while not in use. The exclusively planar components comprising this shelf can act as either an open or closed book; closed when packed, open when assembled, holding the very items the shelf takes inspiration from.

Parataxis aims to house a stout book collection without requiring a visually stout shelf, and the 1/4" plasma cut steel gives the piece immense strength with minimal depth. The load bearing components are cut from a single 48" by 48" sheet of mild steel, and the quartersawn white oak bridges the gap between wall studs.

Oblique angles throughout the piece allow for material efficiency and geometrically nest within one another on the cut sheet, while giving the shelf a unique dynamism and poise. The elements can be placed side by side to whatever extent the user desires, given a long or short enough plank of connecting oak.

I am an architectural designer, digital fabricator, and Adjunct Professor working in the Fabrication Center at IIT's College of Architecture. In my position I focus on managing digital aspects of student and faculty fabrication work and assist with research projects focusing on robotic workflows. I also teach classes on digital and robotic fabrication within the college.

I hold a B.S.Arch and M.Arch from the Georgia Institute of Technology, specifically focusing my studies on robotic construction and CNC workflows. I am extremely passionate about digital fabrication and have experience producing both small scale and large scale, inhabitable installations.

In my time as a design and fabrication intern at Formations Studio, the creative practice of Tristan Al-Haddad, I was exposed to numerous innovative digital fabrication methods as I assisted with the construction of multiple large scale spatial installations as well as producing construction drawings, concept drawings, and client presentations. In my position as Graduate Fabrication Assistant at Georgia Tech's Digital Fabrication Lab I was able to assist with students and faculty at the cutting edge of computer assisted construction as well as improve my own digital fabrication skills in the school's state-of-the-art design lab.

I aim to use my knowledge of fabrication to minimize waste and material usage in my projects, as I believe sustainability and protecting our future is vital. I am a LEED Accredited Professional as well as a WELL Accredited Professional, having used knowledge and concepts from these rating systems to improve both my personal projects as well as my studio and professional work in terms of sustainability.  

In my free time, I enjoy bar trivia, carving wooden spoons, improving my Irish Gaelic language skills, long distance thru-hiking, and reading novels (Knut Hamsun and Kurt Vonnegut, preferably). I have put my bar trivia knowledge to the test as a contestant on Jeopardy! three times, winning once, and I used my winnings to fund a thru-hike of the Pacific Crest Trail in the Summer of 2024 with friends from Grad School.
