My design practice considers architecture as a complication in the landscape.

Extending this position, I have developed a series of adjacent ideas: aggregates, enclosure, softness.

I frame the work as a complication to capture the fraught relationship of architecture, its material construction and its environmental and cultural surroundings. An aggregate captures the disparate programmatic and spatial adjacencies, aggregates collide and overlap; aggregates are messy and unresolved. (Degrees of) enclosure focuses on material construction. They can be variable, permeable, relational, and material. Softness aims to resolve, or at least, mediate, the internal and external environment and to diffuse and integrate these relations.
