“Making architecture is also knowing how to tell stories. Architecture is semantic, like music or the novel. It is the symbol of something that expresses, recounts, sums up the story of a construction and of the place where it rises.”
Renzo Piano — La désobéissance de l'architecte

THE LAB
Past the built work, this is where I experiment with the tools redrawing architecture: parametric design and generative AI. I train my own models, wire AI into the software I design in, and let computation answer what intuition can't measure.
Grasshopper : computation///
ComfyUI : custom generative AI workflows///
Revit : BIM///
Dynamo : model data/// Rhino : modelling/// Python : scripting/// Claude : AI pairing/// Twinmotion : real-timeOne conviction holds it together — technology should extend the designer's hand, never stand in for their judgment. The whole craft is deciding where the machine is allowed to invent.
