Tool Path Table
The table was the result of a series of design experiments to develop a 3d printed wall panel connection system. Made up of only two elements, the middle body and wing element, the table uses the same connection detail but at different angles. The project was also a process of defining print settings for Large…

Bioshelter Exhibition
One of the first projects I was involved in at Arch_Manu was the proof of concept exhibition of the Bio-shelter. The structure is now installed at the new Sydney Fish Market, but it needed to be assembled before handover to the construction contractor. The Bio-shelter is an artificial habitat for marine species, The work was…

Fab Pod 2.1
FabPod 2.1 is an extension of the 2012 and 2020 design of SIAL / RMIT and Swinburne University of Technology as a project that that investigates the need for privacy and speech optimisation in open work areas using sound diffusing properties of hyperbolic surfaces. In the 2025 iteration FabPod 2.1 Arch_Manu kept the design of the second iteration but altered the material selection and…

Robot Reticulations
A continuation of the Utzon 40, Robotic Reticulations explored a larger pavilion for the Opera House forecourt using purely timber. The project employed doubly curved CNC cut plywood to produce a reciprocal frame that was structurally optimised in collaboration with ARUP engineers. The computational design workflow integrated Finite Element Analysis (FEA) into Rhino 3D to…

Utzon 40
In 2013 I was part of a team of academics from Supermanoeuvre, Aarhus University School of Architecture and UTS School of Architecture who designed, fabricated and constructed the Utzon 40 pavilion. The project took the name “Utzon 40” as the prototype celebrated the fortieth anniversary of the Opera House, and presented at the Architecture and…

Animate Networks
“Animate Networks” is a project that reimagines Le Corbusier’s Mill Owners Association building in Ahmedabad using timber strands and spatial organization techniques. Developed in collaboration with Rasmus Holst, it employed Rhino 3D software and Python programming to create algorithmically defined geometric forms. The design process involved three computational techniques: a force directed graph simulation for…

Bent Rod Fabrication
The design concept for a retail store applied the technique of robotically fabricated bent metal rods, developed by supermanoeuvre and Matter Design Studio. This project sought to explore the ability of rod bending to create a functional and aesthetic enhancement to an existing space, as previously demonstrated in the 2012 installation Clouds Of Venice. …

Upside Down House
The Upside Down House is a unique three-bedroom farmhouse in Trundle, NSW, designed in collaboration with Supermanoeuvre. It combines a working farm and a peaceful living environment that blends with the landscape. Designed for thermal efficiency and to capture the landscape views, the house reinterprets rural architecture with a flat roof and undulating ceiling. This…

ABC Opened
The “ABC Opened” project was a collaboration with William Cooper and reimagined Sydney’s ABC building. The proposal responded to the security measures that led to the public closure of the ABC foyer. We questioned the building’s performance and created an “ABC Opened” building plan that aligned with the “ABC Open” marketing slogan. Our design reopened…

Urban Pollen
Urban Pollen is a demonstration project for the Polymedia Pixel designed by Tom Barker, Matthias “Hank” Hausler, Kirsty Beilharz and Sam Ferguson. It proposes an overhead mesh network of colour coordinated pixels that track and distribute urban use.The interactive system used the sensory and networked capabilities of the pixel to provide a means of navigating…
