Basically, my research is concerned with context-sensitive design, that is, the design of objects that fit specific design contexts at different scales (materials, building, and urban design) for optimal performance. This includes the design of functionally graded materials, mass customized housing, and flexible urban planning. To achieve this, I have developed a theoretical framework that includes design and productions systems supported by computer technology. My initial research focused on the design system and its theretical framework included the use of formulation, generation, evaluation and optimization sub-systems, as well as on user interface design. My current research has focused on the production system and it has addressed the development and use of digital fabrication techniques for materializing the design solutions output by the design system. This includes the development of technlogy for the manufacturing of structures in concrete, such as the 3D printing of houses on Earth and shelters on Mars.

Usually, I am considered a specialist in shape grammars a theory proposed by George Stiny and James Gips at MIT in early the 1970s. The use of shape grammars is at the core of the generative systems component of the design systems.

His research interests are in the use of computation to support mass customization, defined as the context-sensitive design and making of objects at different scales, from urban design and architecture to product and materials design. On this topic, he co-edited with Branko Kolarevic “Mass Customization and Design Democratization” (Routledge, 2019). His previous research focused on the use of shape grammars, simulation, and optimization to generate customized designs in response to diverse design contexts. His recent research is centered on the additive manufacturing of concrete structures to materialize such designs. In the last three years he co-led an interdisciplinary Penn State team that earned several awards, including 2nd place in the finals of phases 2 and 3, in NASA’s 3D-Printed Habitat Challenge, a centennial challenge competition established to develop the technology necessary to create shelters to support the human exploration of Mars.
