Whether it is chocolate covered strawberries, cafe con leche, or the wonderful assortment of ingredients in paella, the right food combinations can taste so good. Combinations can also provide incredible insight for design and decision making. As I learn more about math, nature, and paella, I gain new perspectives on how they may influence my approach toward design and the process.
Math has changed the way I think about almost everything. It is quite steady, and seems universally applicable. During my undergrad, I realized that while I may only comprehend a small fraction of mathematics, I can grasp the tremendous power to quantify observations, and guide creations. With the development of faster computers, mathematics has become increasingly freed to explore more complex mathematical structures, such as those found in computational geometry and graph theory. It has been my curiosity in these areas, along with my experience in architecture, that has driven me to explore creativity through algorithmic design.
