architectural organism
home/house: an architectural organism The house must not be seen as an opaque shell, but as an osmotic membrane. The built environment intersects with the living environment. Create a formal and functional interdependence between the architectural object (building) and the subjective object (home). So you can see what porosity led to. And here are some [...]
single-family home
(1of2) First set of drawings from a single-family home project for school. Getting a grip on the surroundings: After an initial study of the surroundings, several ways of tackling this project have been bouncing up and down in my head. I won’t go through all the urban analysis of the area, suffice to say that [...]
Constanta – design proposal for the waterfront of the leisure port
We started out on this by analyzing the area and its surroundings from the point of view of circulation (more on how we did this). How would people move around? The conclusions from this study where integrated later on in the project. Next we took on the task of (re)creating the landscape – modify the [...]
We are happy to announce
To have found someone in a 50km radius that is sharing the same interest in architecture. You can find him Here.
State of the union no2
Things evolve: Veronica and me (Dimitrie). This could have looked better, but alas, we had to make a 1m x 1.3m model in the same time.
State of the union
How things are going on: Work done for the current school project by Veronica and me. This is just a snapshot, stay tuned for more. I’ve written 2 pretty interesting scripts for this one… so stay tuned.
Urban circulation study…
or swarm intelligence? Using processing to make a circulation study in a public area. It’s for the current school project. More details later. I’ve used Shiffman‘s boids sketch as a start, and gradually started building up with some attractors, Point Obstacles (which are attractors with negative pull basically), and Linear Obstacles (which were a little [...]
SPRscrpts is out now
SPRscrpts for Rhino is out now. Grab it while it’s fresh (and buggy). Sorry for the huge delay.
SPRscrpts
RELEASED! SPRscrpts is coming (with documentation). It brings to your Rhino 4 SuperShapes, SphericalHarmonics, SuperTori and Shells. Below is an illustration of what it can do (that’s the shell script at work).
Spherical Harmonics
Wanna be more inventive than Liebeskind, Ghery or Zaha? Well, you easily can. The following will generate quite a few possible shapes, some of which will surely look better than this.

Terraced houses
I’ve taken a different approach to our latest aufgabe. Doing it more digitally (in a smart way I like to think). parametric variation of given frame (lateral walls) in given limits. each house becomes uniqe, escaping repetition. hints of emergence. Basically the facades are independent from the core. Each lateral wall (calcan/blind wall) starts from [...]
Perfume, Voronoi Regions and Architecture
That would summarize my last project at the design studio. Our theme consisted of creating a “perfume museum” at a site located in the vicinity of the Mogosoaia Palace. (I found it to be a very difficult site – history, tradition, nature etc. how to properly integrate a building in such a rich and precise [...]
Other work
This is not as recent, but it deserves to be up. Simple and classy. Much less rigid than company standards, yet satisfyingly matching their CAD “accuracy”. wtf i’m full of bullshit at this time of night
My current school project
Details to come.For now just some haha pictures:What I’m actually doing here is creating the “unfolds” of the solids. Step by step…
Circle packing a book cover
It’s lame to work on familiy business, and even more to blog/brag about it, but I give you Romania’s first ever (probably) computational book cover!The process behind the graphics is circle packing. Algorithm bravely inspired by the description that this brilliant guy posted on the RhinoScript Wiki.Oh, and someone had this idea to use sphere [...]
