Experience
Co-director
Jun 2009 — Present · TX, US
Within Texas there is an emerging network of companies, institutions, and individuals focusing on the exploration of parametric design and the digital production of building components. Specifically, there is a growing opportunity for collaborative exchange between the academic, technical, and professional communities by leveraging the immense resources found in some of the largest metropolitan centers across the United States.Three primary tenants frame TEX-FAB’s methods and provide specific ways in which the collection, distribution, and sharing of information about digital fabrication and parametric modeling take place: Theoria (Lectures / Exhibitions), Poiesis (Workshops) and Praxis (Competitions / Commissions). These three avenues are not unique by themselves, and are not also found collectively in other regions. However, it is when we survey our own context and examined the unique opportunities within the Texas and Southwest Region we see TEX-FAB filling a vital role in shaping the discourse.
