This fall also marks the end of two book projects that have been in the works for several years: FLUX: Architecture in a Parametric Landscape (co-authored with ILA Berman) and Drawing Codes: Experimental Protocols of Architectural Representation (co-authored with Adam Marcus @radadam.bsky.social

This fall is a major milestone for my career. In the fall of 2004, I started my design practice, Matsys. I was submitting my graduate dissertation for awards and didn’t want to use my name on the award submission. I originally used Material Systems Organization but, with time, it’s now Matsys.

Out now! “Drawing Codes: Experimental Protocols of Architectural Representation,” the culmination of a curatorial project initiated with @matsysdesign.bsky.social in 2017. Link to purchase: appliedresearchanddesign.com/product/draw...
