Jenny Sabin is an American architect, designer, artist and professor in Cornell AAP. She is exceptionally interested in designing structures based on biology and mathematics. She focuses on design and cutting-edge technologies and emphasizes on computational design, data, visualization and digital fabrication.

I am particularly inspired by her studio’s new project “ADA,” done in 2018 – 2019. The project is named after Ada Lovelace, a polymath, mathematician and first computer programmer. The project produces a human-driven cyber physical architectural pavilion. It uses lightweight knitted structure that was generated by responsive data-driven tubular and cellular modules. The high-performing pavilion offers unique spaces to wonder and experience with its filtered light and dynamic shadows.
