Tanvi Harkare – Looking Outwards 10

A woman I found interesting is Jenny Sabin – she is an architectural designer who uses computational design as the main driver in her design process. She studied ceramics and interdisciplinary visual arts from the University of Washington. She also holds an M. Arch from University of Pennsylvania. Sabin also holds many awards and fellowships, as well as founding multiple studios at Cornell.  Her project, Lumen (created with a team of 20+ people) was the winner of the MoMA’s Young Architects Program in 2017. Lumen is a responsive structure that responds to environmental factors, as well as social context. It’s made from recycled materials, such as textiles & yarns that absorb light that active its micro climate. The experiment is held together by tension, which is calculated by sun, site, materials, program, and morphology through structures. Lumen goes through a lot of experimentation to create a spatial environment that is delightful for all its users, and goes through many transformations through every hour of the day.
