Curriculum Vitae

Projects & Collaborations

Hyundai Pavilion CES 2019

DESIGN YOUR OWN WORLD • Las Vegas

@Atelier Brueckner

Mobility of the future: Hyundai presents its vision of autonomous driving at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas. Surrounded by a 360-degree screen, visitors travel to the city of the future. The vehicle's cockpit becomes an intelligent multifunctional capsule.

Robotic 3D-Printing for Composite facades

@ETH Zurich • Switzerland

@Digital Building Technologies

A robotically 3D printed facade designed for the versatility to combine the functionality of Insulation, Structure, Shading, Acoustic barrier, Ventilation and Aesthetic in one system. It was a demonstrator done on a Scale 1:5 with architectural integration as an initial thought. Finally clear PETG material was printed with purpose-built custom slicer for UR5 robot.

Future Museum orbital space station experience

The Future Museum

Journey to the Orbital Space Station • UAE

@Atelier Brueckner + Killa Design + Buro Happold

Journey to the OSS calls for the development of interactive experiences within the context of a space station visitor center set in the year 2071. It is going to be the intermediate point of approach for Mars' human settlements. To simulate the same Aura, OSS has been encased in this theme.

Kinetic Architecture with 3DP & Shape Memory Alloys

MAS Thesis Research - Rigidity, Flexibility, and Actuation • ETH Zurich

@ETH Zurich - Digital Building Technologies

This research develops an experimental program with a series of tests, enabling higher controllability of shape morphing behavior through complex geometric features and investigating possible approaches to the material- and energy-efficient actuation. For material-efficient shape-morphing, a minimum amount of SMA-wire is embedded as a muscle into flexible and motion-optimized 3D print.

Hyundai Future Mobility Experience

Goyang, South Korea • South Korea

@Atelier Brueckner

Insight into Hyundai's vision of future driving: The permanent exhibition "Hyundai Future Mobility" takes a look at the current challenges facing humanity in the field of mobility. Visitors learn about possible solutions and deal with alternative drive technologies, for example. The conclusion and highlight of the exhibition is a darkened room with 73 luminous pendulums hanging from the ceiling. With the help of sensors, they recognize the movements of visitors and avoid them. This is how new paths are created.

Intuitive Robotic Plastering

Human-Machine Collaboration • Switzerland

@Gramazio Kohler Research

This 11-week project explores the potential of novel digital fabrication processes to implement a full-scale construction project. The topic combines two PhD research projects on Robotic Plaster Spraying and Human-Machine Collaboration to propose new design and fabrication methodologies under the name of Intuitive Robotic Plastering.

Future Museum for Children

Imagine Design Create • Dubai, UAE

@Atelier Brueckner + Killa Design

Future Museum for Children, a.k.a. "Future Heroes" is a space where children unleash their Imaginations to design and build future skills. It is a proactive space emerging out of fictional or otherworldly landscapes.

Custom Non-planar 3D printing Slicer

Ongoing Research • International

@Studio Cloud.form

Research into solving 3D printing toolpaths for complex geometries. Finding solutions to higher strength and print quality through customized FDM process.

Robotic Glass Pavilion

Zurich • Zurich, Switzerland

@Digital Building Technologies

Research project at ETH Zurich involving digital techniques for Coloring & Thermoforming glass.

Movea - A socio-sustainability Hub

Norway • Norway

@StudioCloud.form

A sustainable social hub designed to foster community engagement and environmental consciousness.

Inter-generational Museum

Cultural Exchange Platform • International

@Atelier Brueckner + UNStudio

A Museum precinct closely integrated with the interactive exhibition content, to serve as a platform of exchange of information through experience, activity and communication based on values of good citizenship.
