MORPHOLOGICAL STUDIES
Morphological Studies: A research on biological systems as primary structural infrastructures.
Year: 2025 - 2026
Location: Davis, California
Role: Lead Researcher & Designer
Type: Anatomical Research
Status: In Progress
Morphological Studies represents a continuous investigation into the body as a primary structural system.
These anatomical explorations serve as the analytical foundation for later architectural interventions, bridging the gap between organic form and rational geometry.
The research focuses on the limits of tension, balance, and metamorphosis, deconstructing the human frame to identify the hidden infrastructures of movement.
Each drawing is not a representation of flesh, but a study of resistance and spatial occupation.
This metamorphic process—from symbol to structure—establishes the core principles of mimesis and kinetic performance that characterize the transition from the biological entity to the architectural device.
