Field Unit
Interface architecture for an architectural research lab working with unstructured spatial data.
Designing tools for researchers who think spatially but work with unstructured, constantly evolving data sets. Standard interface paradigms were too rigid — the tool needed to adapt to the shape of the thinking, not impose a shape on it.
We built adaptive interface modules that respond to data density and context — expanding when needed, collapsing when not. The underlying architecture uses a flexible grid that researchers can reconfigure without breaking the visual logic of the system.
A deployed research interface now used by researchers at three university architecture labs. Cited in a 2024 Architectural Research Network paper on computational design workflows.
