About Me and My Projects
Since 2008 I am exploring the scientific dimension of design and architecture. My M.Arch thesis on biomimicry principles for antiseismic concrete structures introduces a new conception of architectural adaptability. Based on biologically-inspired design, I proposed a set of structural rules in order to improve its resilience and sustainability. Since 2012, I'm leading BioTectonica, a design studio that seek to foster architectural efficiency throughout the lens of biology, thereby upgrading building's technology into a living-based status. I would like to engineer living architecture for the future.
