DESIGN + TECH
MAJOR STUDIO ONE

on this page, you can find documentation of the projects i have worked on for Major Studio 1! there is a focus on process and theory. my domains for this semester were initially defined as i) closed-loop living systems, ii) space settlement, and iii) digital fabrication. through the analytical, strategic, and conceptual processes documented on this page, i have revised my domains to encompass i) plants, ii) space settlement, iii) bio-inspired engineering, and iv) the perspective of the machine.

as i progress toward the final project of the semester, these domains will be the overarching pivot points my work will revolve around

final intent

a breakdown of my recent intentionality studies regarding my final project for the semester

contains a before-and-after comparison of two statements of intent, along with some comments on the process that evolved them.
