Research/Creative Activities:

Susannah Dickinson is involved in research and projects that stem from a background in digital processes, parametric modeling, BIM, and digital fabrication. This technological background is coupled with a belief that it is our responsibility as architects to be concerned with the entire built and natural environment.

The interest is in whether technology, in the form of computational design and fabrication processes, can lead to sustainable and ecologically responsive systems; leading to new architectural and urban paradigms for sustainable environments. Performative systems, operating within a finite set of parameters, resulting in structural and material efficiencies: an organizational device that dictates spatial arrangements and adapts to existing infrastructural conditions and programmatic innovation. It can also be understood as a mosaic within a larger system, a poly-scalar apparatus that will postulate new models for development.
