Project Overview

HybrArch aims to capture water in various states of motion in order to create forms that are ideal for a space's functional necessity. This is achieved through parametric manipulation of a modular unit, that when aggregated, reflects the amorphous fluidity of water.  

Program: Public space (park and docks) at ground level;
                Open-source lab/Research Center.
