I love geometric constraints. This strange form is the result of needing to navigate the shape of an existing shelf, the outline of a standard planter, and the maximum build volume of my #3dprinter

I fell in love with the German language a long time ago. One of the reasons is the vocabulary. Even the word “vocabulary” in German is “word treasure.” How good is that? And while the long German words can turn heads, I have a special fondness for the short ones.

One of the great things of working with design/graphic systems is the work is never really done. Just looking at the last video I posted and found some favorite distinct little moments. These images are from :01, :04, :30, 1:38, 2:03 and 2:29, respectively. I’d love to hear your favorites.

So glad I had my handy first-generation smartphone on me to take this shaky video. The original brief was to create a stair that could stand as a sculpture amid a world-class collection of contemporary art. So it really should be experienced from all sides. Oh yeah, those beautiful full-height doors in the back were also designed and fabricated by @caliperstudio

I like constraints. So #3dprinting has always been a tricky area of investigation for me, because the ruling ethos is that a #3dprinter can “make anything”. While that’s certainly more true than, say, working with a bandsaw, experience has shown there are forms that are more suited to a layer-by-layer, bottom-up way of making. These images are just a few experiments with those types of forms.

It’s one thing to hire someone with very little experience to work on your amazing moving theater project down the street. It’s another thing entirely to let him use it to test out ideas about “scripting” and “generative design” before he even knew what those things really meant. For that opportunity, I’ll always be thankful to have worked with @caliperstudio

I’ve worked on a lot of #3dprinted lighting projects over the years, but this one with @adam_yarinsky remains one of my favorites, because of the way we dug into the #details . The goal was to integrate the new shade with a beautiful, minimal stainless steel fixture already in place. The solution takes advantage of custom tapered connection pieces more easily fabricated with 3d printing than traditional techniques.

Every time I think I’m out of the aeolian geomorphology game, @stoicrise pulls me back in! In reality, there’s so much about these research papers that fascinates me. In general, it’s about setting up some simple rules up front and then letting the system play out. Order arises out of apparent chaos. Or out of nothing.

I love it when I’m surprised by these generative studies. This one starts as a simple exploration of lines and connections, but once you add line thickness as a variable, by about :04 the whole thing starts to look like a Keith Haring composition. Then the line thickness gets really fat and it becomes something else. So somewhere there exists an optimal arrangement of line thickness and spacing to achieve heightened Haringness. We’ll call that the Haring Zone.

What’s interesting about this study is how deceptively simple it is. It’s a grid of equally spaced lines that rotate and subtly change shade. That’s it.

Some recent conversations have reminded me of how much I love collaborating with artists. I have the tendency to get caught up inside my own head and it’s an amazing thing to be able to get into someone else’s head for a while and see where I can be of help.
These images and videos are from an early (2009) collaboration with the sculptor @nilsfolkeanderson . We had so much fun trying to digitize his very physical work. I was learning how to understand digital “collisions” and I guess I still am.

While looking through old files for the #betterbin submission I was reminded of an earlier scheme that would have hewed much closer to the original, but with an updated mesh design. Maybe I should have gone with that one.

These are a few images from one of the most fun, challenging and overall weirdest periods of my life. For those of you who didn’t follow that journey, here’s a quick recap of how I ended up on the Today Show (I’ll put some links in the bio.) In May 2014, my wife and I had two small kids and I had been too busy with an architecture competition I was working on to think about Mother’s Day. But as it happened I had the day before free and the office where I was working had just gotten a new 3d printer. So I snapped some shots and headed in to make a vase. About a half year later, some friends convinced me to take the parametric design tool I’d created and put it to work for other people selling vases on Kickstarter. 3d printers are fun and I thought this could be a way to get my own. So after convincing my extremely patient wife to help me put together a cringy Kickstarter launch video (link in bio), Fahz was born. (“Fahz -It’s your face in a vase!” Get it???) …

A friend recently asked about the Nitehawk project on Metropolitan Avenue and honestly, I don’t know where to begin. Having the opportunity to work with an amazing team of designers, thinkers, fabricators and makers at @calipersudio was an unbelievable experience. Especially for a kid a year out of school, who knew essentially nothing. I tried to be like a sponge, soaking up as much as I could about designing, yes, but also about building, managing and communicating. There is very little I do today that isn’t somehow affected by my time working on this project. Once again, the definitive photos were taken by the masterful @tycole . These are just some shots of the facade at varying levels of completion taken in 2009 by a kid who worked down the street.

It may not look like much now, but back in 2008, this video was kind of like a Meisterbrief for early investigations into coding and design. In the days before visual scripting interfaces (or even modern coding languages in Rhino), work like this was difficult and painstaking. Which is why it was such a pleasure working on it together with @fadometer whose deep research into design and textiles remains an inspiration.

In 2016, I had a very strange idea to try to project fragments of letterforms onto a bridge in Weimar, Germany. Over a decade before that, I had the opportunity to spend a semester studying architecture at the Bauhaus-Universität and while immersing myself in the revolutionary modern design thinking that came out of that place, I got to indulge my love of German letters, both in the figurative sense (Deutsche Klassik, Goethe, Schiller..) and the literal sense. I lived in an old house that said “Gut Werkzeug halbe Arbeit” in strong Fraktur characters right there on the facade. And through the @pavillonpresse I learned about the work of Felix Walbaum in Weimar. He’s a super interesting figure whose work bridges so many traditions of visual culture and at some point I thought it would be great to bring some of Weimar’s graphic history together with its unique built environment to light up the Ilm.

Ok, even on an account full of strange things, this one may be particularly strange. This was part of an amazing collaboration with @kohnpedersenfox and @bostonvalleyterracotta during the Architectural Ceramic Assemblies Workshop in 2019. The idea was to add a custom #3dprinted roller to the end of a standard die extrusion mechanism for a deeper exploration into the interaction of surface texture and glaze.

During my time as a “digital potter” I made a lot of vases with a lot of faces. But along the way I’d also get special requests. If I remember correctly, this was an entire extended family. I remember the layout algorithm got quite complex to fit that many faces on one vase without one interfering with the next. I think my record was 16 faces, but I’d have to check.

This was an extremely fun material study done with @marblefairbanks . It’s nice to see the same geometry made initially with #3dprinting then #cnc milled out of different grades of plywood.

I honestly don’t really know where to begin with this project. It was one of the great joys of my life to be able to work on a design so passionately with a team of amazing people equally committed to stretching our comfort zone to make something great. @tycole already took the definitive pictures, but I have hard drives full of my own images that have special meaning to me. These decidedly unprofessional shots are from my first day visiting the fully assembled and finished stair after literally years, of dreaming, coding, modeling, tweaking, assembling, grinding, polishing and pushing. Over a decade later and I continue to be amazed by @caliperstudio and their ability to make great things.

A few years ago, during a not particularly creative period in my professional life, I decided to combine two of my loves—meticulous #metalwork and #newyorkcity—to take part in a competition sponsored by @nycsanitation and @van_alen to update NYC’s iconic green metal mesh trash cans. I didn’t win, but the project did manage to scratch a particular itch.

While not the most sophisticated or most beautiful, this exploration is important to me because it lit a spark. The end of grad school for me was full of lectures on how “algorithms” would transform design. Seemed plausible, but without having ever written a line of code, it was all pretty abstract. Then I decided to see if I could make a kinky line straight. I agonized over these fifty-odd lines of VBScript (zero stars, would not recommend), but as I started to figure out how to draw geometry to the screen, a funny thing happened. Those squiggles started to straighten out.

This was a simple, but satisfying study on the effects of small discrepancies in a system as it plays out over time. The base layer of this form is created by plotting something like 120 points in a perfect circle. For each step up the z-axis a certain degree of “drift” is added and the points are moved ever so slightly in the x-y plane. Over time, these random inaccuracies build up to form discernible patterns, ultimately creating a strong, rigid shape especially well-suited to 3d-printing.

I’m a bit obsessed with letterforms. They’re what I always come back to for inspiration. They’re all around us and they are to me everything that is good about humans. Try as they might, they can’t shake themselves of the human hand. Every day they are pushed, pulled and stretched but they carry history within their curves and straights. That can’t be erased.
The lower case g in renaissance-era fonts is particularly good. It has two holes. And it doesn’t sit on the baseline like you think it might. Oh and that thing at the top, that’s called an ear.

This is one of my favorites because it’s so incredibly simple. There’s nothing 3d going on here. It’s just a chain of dots working their way through flat space. It’s how they interact with each other, when traced over time that gives the impression of a sinuous, silky, undulating landscape. But it’s just dots. Moving in two-dimensional space.

There’s not much to this. I was doing dishes and there was something so simple and so good about how these repetitive elements (bowls) came together to create a new geometry that adhered to a different set of rules. There’s probably something more profound to be discovered, but it hasn’t happened yet. And the dishes never got done.

I made this in January, 2018. I don’t remember the specifics, but I know I was feeling overwhelmed by the seeming hopeless of our politics. So I made what is possibly the weakest-ass, no-risk “protest” statement you could imagine. But what’s funny is that I keep coming back to it. When things are messed up, sometimes a simple acknowledgment of the shit show is an important first step. No, this is not normal.

I’ve been inspired by calligraphic mark-making since I first held a broad nib pen in junior high art class. For me, traditions of ornamental writing from around the world show clearly the generative power of combining simple graphic rules with human intuition and craft. This study combines the controlled chaos of a double pendulum kinetic system with the refined visual logic of an angled pen. Originally, I was interested in the marks themselves, but over time I started to appreciate the gestural qualities that are hinted at in the changes of speed and direction. Those aspects aren’t fully explored here, but I’m starting to think it’s something I should be looking at.

This is part of a large series of studies investigating matters of visual control and agency in graphic production using simulated physical properties and behaviors. This one in particular is special, because it is the only one of thousands of such studies to take physical form as a giclée print. I told myself I’d use the money from its sale to print myself a version of equal quality to hang on the wall, but then COVID happened.

This animation is a visualization of the “depth first” search algorithm employed to find viable solutions to the puzzle of fitting a finite set of irregular panels into a given rectangular opening. Computational design resources were few and far between back in the day so I had to dig this one up from an Introduction to Algorithms textbook.

I hadn’t watched that last video to the end in quite a while and there’s something really satisfying about the final frame. I like the subtle vertical gradient, not only of the size and distribution of the shapes, but also the heaviness of the linework. And the for me, the fact that it doesn’t all quite fill that bottom left corner, that‘s everything.

These are some screen shots of a guitar stand I designed, but never really got around to fabricating. I think I like the fluted version better (slides 3 and 4). Maybe the fluting needs to be emphasized a bit more. And then it needs to be printed.

The setup of this study is pretty simple. A bunch of circles in a frame. And the result is to be expected. A highly structured arrangement of bodies. But there are two or three seconds there in the beginning where things go wild. There are territorial battles and border skirmishes. The structure that will eventually take hold is not yet clear. It’s a moment of possibility.

When my son was about seven or eight, he was really into chess. So I decided to design and make him his own set. A system of physical forces was set up to act on a basic cylindrical mesh. By changing the connections and relative strength of the tensile forces within each piece, the overall shape could be manipulated. Because the different shapes are created using the same generative system, there are inherent formal affinities relating pawn to bishop, bishop to knight, knight to rook and so on. The different pieces work together to form a family of taut and distinctly modern sculptural gestures.

One day I made an awful lot of geometry. I’m always interested in creating systems to make objects. In this case the forms themselves were constrained by a desire to have them quickly 3d-printed. I translated 2d physics simulations between rigid bodies with the z-axis representing the time component of the interactions. That methodology actually corresponds very well to additive manufacturing processes which mostly require one layer to be printed over the previous layer in a sequential manner. I printed a few hundred of these things at one point and they still show up in random drawers when I’m looking for a screwdriver.

I fell in love with the German language a long time ago. One of the reasons is the vocabulary. Even the word “vocabulary” in German is “word treasure.” How good is that? And while the long German words can turn heads, I have a special fondness for the short ones.

The original brief was to create a stair that could stand as a sculpture amid a world-class collection of contemporary art. So it really should be experienced from all sides.

I like constraints. So #3dprinting has always been a tricky area of investigation for me, because the ruling ethos is that a #3dprinter can “make anything”. While that’s certainly more true than, say, working with a bandsaw, experience has shown there are forms that are more suited to a layer-by-layer, bottom-up way of making. These images are just a few experiments with those types of forms.

It’s one thing to hire someone with very little experience to work on your amazing moving theater project down the street. It’s another thing entirely to let him use it to test out ideas about “scripting” and “generative design” before he even knew what those things really meant. For that opportunity, I’ll always be thankful to have worked with @caliperstudio

I’ve worked on a lot of #3dprinted lighting projects over the years, but this one with @adam_yarinsky remains one of my favorites, because of the way we dug into the #details . The goal was to integrate the new shade with a beautiful, minimal stainless steel fixture already in place. The solution takes advantage of custom tapered connection pieces more easily fabricated with 3d printing than traditional techniques.

Every time I think I’m out of the aeolian geomorphology game, @stoicrise pulls me back in! In reality, there’s so much about these research papers that fascinates me. In general, it’s about setting up some simple rules up front and then letting the system play out. Order arises out of apparent chaos. Or out of nothing.

I love it when I’m surprised by these generative studies. This one starts as a simple exploration of lines and connections, but once you add line thickness as a variable, by about :04 the whole thing starts to look like a Keith Haring composition. Then the line thickness gets really fat and it becomes something else. So somewhere there exists an optimal arrangement of line thickness and spacing to achieve heightened Haringness. We’ll call that the Haring Zone.

Some recent conversations have reminded me of how much I love collaborating with artists. I have the tendency to get caught up inside my own head and it’s an amazing thing to be able to get into someone else’s head for a while and see where I can be of help.
These images and videos are from an early (2009) collaboration with the sculptor @nilsfolkeanderson . We had so much fun trying to digitize his very physical work. I was learning how to understand digital “collisions” and I guess I still am.

Happy New Year!
While looking through old files for the #betterbin submission I was reminded of an earlier scheme that would have hewed much closer to the original, but with an updated mesh design. Maybe I should have gone with that one.

These are a few images from one of the most fun, challenging and overall weirdest periods of my life. For those of you who didn’t follow that journey, here’s a quick recap of how I ended up on the Today Show (I’ll put some links in the bio.) In May 2014, my wife and I had two small kids and I had been too busy with an architecture competition I was working on to think about Mother’s Day. But as it happened I had the day before free and the office where I was working had just gotten a new 3d printer. So I snapped some shots and headed in to make a vase. About a half year later, some friends convinced me to take the parametric design tool I’d created and put it to work for other people selling vases on Kickstarter. 3d printers are fun and I thought this could be a way to get my own. So after convincing my extremely patient wife to help me put together a cringy Kickstarter launch video (link in bio), Fahz was born. (“Fahz -It’s your face in a vase!” Get it???) …

A friend recently asked about the Nitehawk project on Metropolitan Avenue and honestly, I don’t know where to begin. Having the opportunity to work with an amazing team of designers, thinkers, fabricators and makers at @calipersudio was an unbelievable experience. Especially for a kid a year out of school, who knew essentially nothing. I tried to be like a sponge, soaking up as much as I could about designing, yes, but also about building, managing and communicating. There is very little I do today that isn’t somehow affected by my time working on this project. Once again, the definitive photos were taken by the masterful @tycole . These are just some shots of the facade at varying levels of completion taken in 2009 by a kid who worked down the street.

It may not look like much now, but back in 2008, this video was kind of like a Meisterbrief for early investigations into coding and design. In the days before visual scripting interfaces (or even modern coding languages in Rhino), work like this was difficult and painstaking. Which is why it was such a pleasure working on it together with @fadometer whose deep research into design and textiles remains an inspiration.

In 2016, I had a very strange idea to try to project fragments of letterforms onto a bridge in Weimar, Germany. Over a decade before that, I had the opportunity to spend a semester studying architecture at the Bauhaus-Universität and while immersing myself in the revolutionary modern design thinking that came out of that place, I got to indulge my love of German letters, both in the figurative sense (Deutsche Klassik, Goethe, Schiller..) and the literal sense. I lived in an old house that said “Gut Werkzeug halbe Arbeit” in strong Fraktur characters right there on the facade. And through the @pavillonpresse I learned about the work of Felix Walbaum in Weimar. He’s a super interesting figure whose work bridges so many traditions of visual culture and at some point I thought it would be great to bring some of Weimar’s graphic history together with its unique built environment to light up the Ilm.

Ok, even on an account full of strange things, this one may be particularly strange. This was part of an amazing collaboration with @kohnpedersenfox and @bostonvalleyterracotta during the Architectural Ceramic Assemblies Workshop in 2019. The idea was to add a custom #3dprinted roller to the end of a standard die extrusion mechanism for a deeper exploration into the interaction of surface texture and glaze.

During my time as a “digital potter” I made a lot of vases with a lot of faces. But along the way I’d also get special requests. If I remember correctly, this was an entire extended family. I remember the layout algorithm got quite complex to fit that many faces on one vase without one interfering with the next. I think my record was 16 faces, but I’d have to check.

I honestly don’t really know where to begin with this project. It was one of the great joys of my life to be able to work on a design so passionately with a team of amazing people equally committed to stretching our comfort zone to make something great. @tycole already took the definitive pictures, but I have hard drives full of my own images that have special meaning to me. These decidedly unprofessional shots are from my first day visiting the fully assembled and finished stair after literally years, of dreaming, coding, modeling, tweaking, assembling, grinding, polishing and pushing. Over a decade later and I continue to be amazed by @caliperstudio and their ability to make great things.

In another former life I was working on a massive international airport project for a bit. This was part of my musings on grids, constraints and freedom. I feel somehow like there’s still a lot of stuff here to be explored.

A few years ago, during a not particularly creative period in my professional life, I decided to combine two of my loves—meticulous #metalwork and #newyorkcity—to take part in a competition sponsored by @nycsanitation and @van_alen to update NYC’s iconic green metal mesh trash cans. I didn’t win, but the project did manage to scratch a particular itch.

While not the most sophisticated or most beautiful, this exploration is important to me because it lit a spark. The end of grad school for me was full of lectures on how “algorithms” would transform design. Seemed plausible, but without having ever written a line of code, it was all pretty abstract. Then I decided to see if I could make a kinky line straight. I agonized over these fifty-odd lines of VBScript (zero stars, would not recommend), but as I started to figure out how to draw geometry to the screen, a funny thing happened. Those squiggles started to straighten out.

This was a simple, but satisfying study on the effects of small discrepancies in a system as it plays out over time. The base layer of this form is created by plotting something like 120 points in a perfect circle. For each step up the z-axis a certain degree of “drift” is added and the points are moved ever so slightly in the x-y plane. Over time, these random inaccuracies build up to form discernible patterns, ultimately creating a strong, rigid shape especially well-suited to 3d-printing.

I’m a bit obsessed with letterforms. They’re what I always come back to for inspiration. They’re all around us and they are to me everything that is good about humans. Try as they might, they can’t shake themselves of the human hand. Every day they are pushed, pulled and stretched but they carry history within their curves and straights. That can’t be erased.
The lower case g in renaissance-era fonts is particularly good. It has two holes. And it doesn’t sit on the baseline like you think it might. Oh and that thing at the top, that’s called an ear.

This is one of my favorites because it’s so incredibly simple. There’s nothing 3d going on here. It’s just a chain of dots working their way through flat space. It’s how they interact with each other, when traced over time that gives the impression of a sinuous, silky, undulating landscape. But it’s just dots. Moving in two-dimensional space.

There’s not much to this. I was doing dishes and there was something so simple and so good about how these repetitive elements (bowls) came together to create a new geometry that adhered to a different set of rules. There’s probably something more profound to be discovered, but it hasn’t happened yet. And the dishes never got done.

I made this in January, 2018. I don’t remember the specifics, but I know I was feeling overwhelmed by the seeming hopeless of our politics. So I made what is possibly the weakest-ass, no-risk “protest” statement you could imagine. But what’s funny is that I keep coming back to it. When things are messed up, sometimes a simple acknowledgment of the shit show is an important first step. No, this is not normal.

I’ve been inspired by calligraphic mark-making since I first held a broad nib pen in junior high art class. For me, traditions of ornamental writing from around the world show clearly the generative power of combining simple graphic rules with human intuition and craft. This study combines the controlled chaos of a double pendulum kinetic system with the refined visual logic of an angled pen. Originally, I was interested in the marks themselves, but over time I started to appreciate the gestural qualities that are hinted at in the changes of speed and direction. Those aspects aren’t fully explored here, but I’m starting to think it’s something I should be looking at.

This is part of a large series of studies investigating matters of visual control and agency in graphic production using simulated physical properties and behaviors. This one in particular is special, because it is the only one of thousands of such studies to take physical form as a giclée print. I told myself I’d use the money from its sale to print myself a version of equal quality to hang on the wall, but then COVID happened.

This animation is a visualization of the “depth first” search algorithm employed to find viable solutions to the puzzle of fitting a finite set of irregular panels into a given rectangular opening. Computational design resources were few and far between back in the day so I had to dig this one up from an Introduction to Algorithms textbook.

I hadn’t watched that last video to the end in quite a while and there’s something really satisfying about the final frame. I like the subtle vertical gradient, not only of the size and distribution of the shapes, but also the heaviness of the linework. And the for me, the fact that it doesn’t all quite fill that bottom left corner, that‘s everything.

These are some screen shots of a guitar stand I designed, but never really got around to fabricating. I think I like the fluted version better (slides 3 and 4). Maybe the fluting needs to be emphasized a bit more. And then it needs to be printed.

One of my favorite projects from my time @caliperstudio The original idea came from an unrealized architectural façade project and algorithmic explorations, but the project only got better with the input from and collaboration with amazing, knowledgeable metalworkers and craftsmen.

On reflection, I think a lot of my work is about developing systems and then mining those understandable systems for the unexpected. I guess that’s why the “logo” is always changing.

The setup of this study is pretty simple. A bunch of circles in a frame. And the result is to be expected. A highly structured arrangement of bodies. But there are two or three seconds there in the beginning where things go wild. There are territorial battles and border skirmishes. The structure that will eventually take hold is not yet clear. It’s a moment of possibility.

When my son was about seven or eight, he was really into chess. So I decided to design and make him his own set. A system of physical forces was set up to act on a basic cylindrical mesh. By changing the connections and relative strength of the tensile forces within each piece, the overall shape could be manipulated. Because the different shapes are created using the same generative system, there are inherent formal affinities relating pawn to bishop, bishop to knight, knight to rook and so on. The different pieces work together to form a family of taut and distinctly modern sculptural gestures.

One day I made an awful lot of geometry. I’m always interested in creating systems to make objects. In this case the forms themselves were constrained by a desire to have them quickly 3d-printed. I translated 2d physics simulations between rigid bodies with the z-axis representing the time component of the interactions. That methodology actually corresponds very well to additive manufacturing processes which mostly require one layer to be printed over the previous layer in a sequential manner. I printed a few hundred of these things at one point and they still show up in random drawers when I’m looking for a screwdriver.

I use small projects around the house to test out ideas. This was a fun geometric exercise to fit four large circular planters onto a weird, quarter-circle shelf we have in the corner of our apartment
