3DinA (since 2018)

The purpose of this workshop series is to probe into geometrical thinking by exploring the potentials and perspectives of digital fabrication as a craft. By positioning non-human living organisms as co-designers, we bridge digital and biological matter to manufacture bespoke 3D artifacts that perform "life."

In 2018, a year after joining the Artificial Life Lab, I facilitated a week-long workshop (the third in that year's series) with architecture students at the Technical University of Graz (Institute of Architecture and Media).

This marked the first time I established a structured pedagogical agenda for architecture students that integrated a critical discourse on the convergence of Artificial Life studies and the emerging field of Living Architecture. This framework allows us to project alternative functional criteria into our designs, speculating on the inherent advantages of growth, self-organization, and the self-repairing properties of biological entities within an architectural context.
