Hexagonal Pod
Hexa-Pod is a robotic fabrication experiment that explores the architectural potential of layered hexagonal stacking through precision-controlled robotic assembly. Designed as part of the “Introduction to Robotic Fabrication” seminar, the project investigates modularity, ergonomics, and spatial expression using a rotation-based stacking logic.
Inspired by natural geometries and public gathering typologies, the final form consists of 81 wooden sticks stacked in 27 rotating layers, each shifted by 120 degrees. This creates a twisting, open-ended pavilion-like structure that offers both functional seating and spatial enclosure.
The use of robotic arms allowed for high-fidelity precision, testing multiple layout configurations (Options A–D) before finalizing an optimal design based on spatial flow and user interaction. The hexagonal form not only enhances stability and assembly logic, but also provides a 360-degree public interface, suggesting future applications in outdoor furniture, bus stops, or modular installations.
Hexa-Pod is a study in how robotic processes can drive both structural logic and experiential design, bringing architectural expression and digital control into direct dialogue.

Nestcape
Nestcape is an explorative pavilion project that investigates the intersection of computational design, natural systems, and human experience. Inspired by the structural logic and spatial intimacy of bird nests, the design uses algorithmic strategies to generate a porous, shelter-like form that balances enclosure and openness.
Parametric modeling tools were employed to create a geometry that adapts in density, curvature, and porosity, allowing light, air, and views to filter through while shaping a comforting spatial envelope. The layered structure simulates a woven, organic assembly, suggesting an architecture that is both protective and permeable.
Through this project, Nestcape proposes a biomimetic approach to spatial design—where natural intelligence informs human-scale habitats that feel alive, adaptive, and nurturing.

Rotating Ridge
Rotating Ridge is a digitally fabricated architectural module that integrates kinetic design, material exploration, and multi-axis fabrication techniques. Drawing inspiration from the iris mechanism and natural shading systems, the project features a dynamic circular façade that opens and closes in response to sunlight, providing passive shading and enhanced environmental control.
The module is composed of three interlocking parts:
A 3D-printed iris-inspired mechanism that rotates to modulate light and airflow.
A CNC-milled wooden base that adds structural depth and texture through ripple effects.
A laser-cut polypropylene skin that adds flexibility and enclosure, shaped through material experimentation and tolerance testing.
The design emphasizes adaptive performance, modular assembly, and material-specific fabrication strategies, showcasing a hybrid approach that combines digital precision with responsive spatial logic.
