PhD in Architectural Design @ the AA

I am glad to announce that I will be a PhD Candidate Student at the Architectural Association starting in September 2009.

As part of PhD in Architectural Design Program (which is an option for qualified architects with experience in design research and an interest in relating theory to design practice), the topic of my research is “MATHEMATICS IN NATURE: SELF-ORGANIZATION IN PARAMETRICALLY GENERATED MORPHOLOGIES”.

I will be updating my blog regularly showing the progress in my PhD research.

AADRL.TEN Book Special Edition Book Case: morpho.X

 

drl10cover_thumb1

YME has been commissioned by the Architectural Association to design and manufacture a special edition book case for “DRL TEN: A DESIGN RESEARCH COMPENDIUM”. The book is a critique of the 10 years of DRL, including thesis projects, articles by the tutors, etc.

X: 1. (Roman numerals) The number 10.    

2. a letter in the Latin alphabet.

3. an unknown variable in algebra. (from wikipedia.com and wiktionary.org)

The concept of morpho.X is derived from the trajectories that X would travel in time through an unknown landscape. As X makes its journey in this unknown landscape, it creates multiple trajectories and fuses with the landscape, adapting its morphology to the changing topography. X becomes the landscape, or the landscape becomes X; the result is a Moire pattern.
