My research and practical experimentation around geometry explore the challenge to self build socially useful structures trough simple, inclusive and appropriable dynamics and locally harvested materials. This isn't incompatible with the apparent complexity of the proposed designs and with enchanting aesthetics. Those iconic geometries endow the process with the power to rise the self-esteem and contribute to community's identity through its direct involvement in their creation. Their presence in public spaces allow people to enjoy and appreciate the movements and the transformations of the patterns, and allows me to anonymously sit and enjoy the spontaneous debate about mathematics and geometries they promote.
