Research Experience
AGGLAB, San Francisco, CA Co-Founder 2012-present
is an interdisciplinary design and research practice focused on competition work, installations, publications, and experimental methodologies informed by systems thinking. The practice develops spatial propositions through critical inquiry, representational experimentation, and iterative making across analog and digital media. Agglab’s work resists fixed typologies, emphasizing process, interpretation, and the construction of meaning through architectural form.
