Data’s Hidden Role in Architecture
Most architects today think of data as a digital phenomenon – something that emerged with BIM, parametric design, and smart building technologies. But what if data has actually been shaping architectural practice for centuries, quietly influencing how we observe, predict, and instruct? The answer reveals a much deeper story about how architects have always worked…

From Practice to Research: An Interview on Architecture, Manufacturing, and Sustainability
I was recently interviewed at an EmAGN x Stockland event about non-traditional career paths in architecture. Below are the preparation questions and answers I took to the event. In the end, the event was more off the cuff and we only managed to cover a couple of the questions. Can you briefly share your current…
