I study both Architecture and Robotics, and to bring the distinct ways of thinking from each field into the other.
I explore how seriousness can loosen, how monuments can become playful, and how familiar forms can feel newly strange.
I am drawn to rules we set ourselves or by the elements not to preserve them entirely, but to nudge them into moments of delight, surprise, and absurdity.

DESCRIPTION
My project is a smart cup coaster that helps me mix drinks based on set proportions. It consists of a load cell and a speaker. First, I will put a cup on the coaster and zero the weight of the cup. Then, I can pick a drink (let's say latte) I want to make by pushing the corresponding button, and start pouring liquid (let's say milk) into a cup, which is placed on the platform attached to a load cell. Once it reaches a certain weight, the speaker will play the "ting" sound to remind me to stop. Then, I can start adding the second liquid (let's say coffee). Similarly, the coaster will remind me when it reaches the perfect proportion for latte.
