Jason Vigneri-Beane is an architect, industrial designer and associate professor of architecture at Pratt Institute, where he has taught courses on ecology, technology, media, design research and speculating on near-future scenarios. In 2016-17, he received Pratt Institute’s Distinguished Teacher Award, the Institute’s highest faculty honor. Jason is the founding principal of Split Studio, a Brooklynbased practice interested in multi-disciplinary design across scales, modes and media that include graphics, video, augmented reality, industrial design, architecture, urbanism and ecology.
Cryptomorph_F V-1/2/3 consists of variants in a parametrically designed family of tectonic objects. These volumetric surfaces and their fused arrays of hexagonal involutions become prototypes that can be developed into entities that sense through filaments, influence airflow/atmosphere through form and topology, and invite multispecies inhabitation into their thick, articulated envelopes. Cryptomorphs are dense, compacted objects of ecological infrastructure that spawn expansive, tectonic landscapes of logistics that may be populated by flora, fauna and electronic forms of synthetic life.
