Measured Displacement, 2023
Measurement has served as a tool that enables extractive practices and the sustained imbalance between nations which have led to the contemporary archive museum. The Ethnological Museum of Berlin’s vast collection of artifacts (many of which were stolen, or acquired under dubious circumstances) are being moved to and displayed in a reconstruction of a 18th century Prussian palace known as the Humboldt Forum. Through engagement with the history of measurement and the act of assigning a number to experiential phenomena, this project plays out a scenario where artifacts carry with them the climate conditions of their respective regions. By altering the system of climate control into one of climate simulation, the displacement of the housed artifacts is felt, and its effects on the building are observed.
This project was completed in collaboration with Jasper Lai for A4106-11 Architecture Studio VI, taught by Emanuel Admassu at Columbia University, GSAPP.

Goo Machine, 2023
In this project a midi controller is converted into a multipurpose design tool. Knobs control parameters such as scale, rotation, position, color, and more in order to form various blob shapes. By assigning parameters to knobs, one can make decisions without having to take their eyes off the shape they are working on, and this enables a workflow that prioritizes the intuitive connection between hand and mind.
This project was completed for A4778-1 Metatool, taught by Dan Taeyoung at Columbia University, GSAPP.
