Do you design architecture by targeting the five classical senses: visual, aural, haptic, olfactory, and taste? Furthermore, do you treat these modalities as sensory channels that exist independent of one another, like wires that never cross-talk? In one of my latest research case study projects, I explore how architectural design can leverage the visual sense, by converging it with the haptic sense.

Then, in September 2022, hemp building materials were added to the model US residential building code, paving the way for legal use in 2024.
