MATERIAL exp

Both in teaching and research, materials have been a significant area of exploration for me. This includes investigating their inherent morphogenetic capacities as well as their chemical transformations, particularly in the realm of smart materials. I have delved into these potentials in multiple roles: as a lecturer and tutor at the Architectural Association, specifically within the EmTech and Technical Studies programs, and as a researcher at the Royal College of Art.
These personal small scale ‘kitchen’ experimentations are with thermochromics on different surfaces, thermoelectrics and thermochromics, smart bendind alloys, smart thermoplastics that curl and uncurl with temperature as well as veneers that curl and uncurl with water. 
The idea behind them was to use them as inpirations for bigger scale material systems or as small scale components for biggers structural systems.
