Profiel

I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Architecture at the Faculty of Architecture and the Built Environment at TU Delft, and a member of the Design, Data and Society group. I also serve as the managing editor of The New Open (www.newopen.design), a research-in-conversation project exploring the topic of data and open society.

My research is centered around visualising data in (and for) architectural design.

I believe that data presented in visual formats can unify diverse perspectives and ground design decisions in real-world contexts. Data is a way to ground-truth conversation, imagination and action; a powerful tool for design. Computational visualisation technologies are advancing in immersive and multi-dimensional ways that show promise to better portray the nuanced, fine-scale, and dynamic data of buildings. The goal is to use these new technologies to visualise how people use environments, to design them better.

The themes that inspire my research include: data informed design practice, computational coding and experimental encoding, meaning and mark-making in digital media, trust and transparency through common knowledge and vision, visual data literacy, empathy and data representation, and data-inspired visions for future living.

    SSHRC Doctoral Fellowship

    SSHRC Doctoral Fellowships support high-calibre students engaged in doctoral programs in the social sciences and humanities. This support allows scholars to fully focus on their doctoral studies, to seek out the best research mentors in their chosen fields, and to contribute to the Canadian research ecosystem during and beyond the tenure of their awards.
