Winter 2023

An experiment in mixed reality fabrication, Sylvan Swell is a sculptural pavilion on Georgia Tech’s campus fabricated using Fologram and Hololens Mixed Reality technology. With over 450 unique elements, the workflow for such a sculpture would have been cumbersome and overly-involved without the use of MR technologies.

Utilizing over 1800 linear feet of 1.5 in by 3 in upcycled scrap pine members, (waste from a previous Georgia Tech studio) the sculpture attempts to imply an amorphous shape while respecting both a rigid underlying grid and an entirely orthogonal system of structural elements.

Economy of material, time, and energy make the form and its MR fabrication method inseparable.  At end of life, the sculpture is entirely deconstructable, and the simple tectonic method is such that the members retain enough strength to be donated back to the Georgia Tech Digital Fabrication Lab for use in future projects.

 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.
