Shifting Paradigms from Mass Production to Mass Customization
Computational architecture and design course
Conventional construction methods all depart from the basic premises of mass production: standardization, modulation and a production line. What these systems developed during the last two centuries fail to take into account are the evolutionary leaps and bounds the manufacturing industry has taken over the last decades. With the introduction of CNC technologies and rapid prototyping machines have altered the paradigms of fabrication forever. It is due to these new tools that it is now possible to create (n) amount of completely unique and different pieces with the same amount of energy and material that is required to create (n) identical pieces. The possibilities for implementation of new forms, textures, materials and languages are infinite due to the versatility that these new tools offer a growing network of architects, designers, fabricators that are integrating them into their professional practices to generate unique and precise objects that respond to countless data and real-life conditions.

I chose to become an architect because I like to work large; even as a child, I drew huge, colorful, larger than life portraits. I have always approached architecture from an artistic background. While designing studio space for graphic designers and ad agencies in the Helms Building, I manipulated scale and light. Now, as an artist, I have inverted this process and am approaching art from my architecture background—sometimes using building materials in ways for which they were not intended.
Art is nothing if not a dialog and so engaging with other people has enriched my life. As an architect I collaborated with structural engineers, traffic engineers, civil engineers, electrical and mechanical engineers. As an artist my consultants are a seamstress, an upholsterer, embroiderers from Mexico, an app designer, a computer consultant, a graphic designer, a surfboard shaper and an advertising print shop. I have always been interested in understanding the details of what others do. Even if nothing comes of what we discuss, we end up having amazing conversations. These conversations can happen anywhere--on the street, on the beach, wherever the dialog begins.
