Shannon Iacino.
Sustainable Designer + Engineer based in Savannah, GA. Specialized in architectural research and digital fabrication techniques.
I'm interested in the relationship between design and the environment, how ecological feedback can inform the morphology of objects and how to use parametric and computational design strategies to accomplish this.
