I’m a MSc. architecture graduate at Delft University of Technology, specializing in parametric design and computation. My international study experience is the direct result of my constant curiosity and explorers mentality. That same mentality led me to visit four continents and to my current specialization in experimental and pioneering techniques.

The aim of was to involve the disciplines of architecture, robotics, materials science, and structural design in order to integrate knowledge from the individual disciplines and develop new numerically controlled manufacturing techniques and building-design optimisation methods for adding creative value to buildings in a cost-effective and sustainable way. RDCB builds up on expertise developed at Hyperbody with respect to applications of robotics in architecture and this paper presents the contribution of the Robotic Building team from Hyperbody, Faculty of Architecture, TU Delft to the RDCB project. The contribution is in line with Europe’s aim to improve material and ...

What implications will the use of algorithms and complex systems have on architecture and the architect as a deciding expert in the design process?

Upon this foundation, from the debris, I foresee an intelligent system that is prepared for that which will be: Cognitive Capitalism. Now I'm not a studied economist or politician, nor am I writing an academic report. I have studied architecture, and as an architect you're not dealing with fundamental economics like this. What architects do — what I do — is to envision. It's to create visions on a Utopian future that will probably never be but which we aspire to become nonetheless. Out of naivety, romantic illusions, because we're crazy enough to think we can change the world. But as has been said before: “those who are crazy enough to think that they can change the world, are the ones who do”. Now go ahead and enjoy my crazy vision to reshape the human condition. To push humanity forward, into the future.
