I am interested in what happens when architecture works with systems it cannot fully control. Materials change, environments shift, machines have their own capacities, and communities bring knowledge that cannot be reduced to fixed parameters. My work explores how computation can make room for these conditions rather than erase them.

I call this Embedded Intelligence: a way of designing in which intelligence is distributed across matter, geometry, tools, fabrication, environment, and people. I study this through four connected conditions—process, behavior, matter, and geometry. Together, they guide my work in robotics, adaptive structures, biomaterials, bamboo, computational fabrication, and collaborative environmental research, toward forms of architecture that are responsive, resource-conscious, and grounded in the places and communities where they are made.
