Episode 02 - Material Programming, Self-shaping Timber, and Drones

• Guest: Aaron Wagner

In this episode, I talk with Aaron Wagner about material programming, self-shaping timber, and drone applications in architecture.

Aaron's background spans architecture, chemistry, and mechanical engineering. His thesis in the ITECH program explores the potential of self-shaping wood as a functional and sustainable building material.

Topics Discussed

  • Self-shaping timber structures
  • Material programming principles
  • Wood as a programmable material
  • AI applications in material science
  • Drone technology in construction
  • Sustainable building materials
