I have published a number of articles in computer aided architecture conferences and journals, including several papers in ACADIA, CAAD Futures and EcaadE. My research teams usually include students with architecture background, who are interested conceptual design and construction. With a university grant, we have recently acquired a 3D printer and one laser cutter. This direction especially construction of unusual shapes will be more and more important part of my research work. All the papers can be downloaded from my webpage.

Challenge of Virtual Architecture", Journal of
Design Sciences and Technology, Vol. 7, No. 1,
1999. ISSN 1270-0517. Extended from
G. V. de Velasco, E. Akleman, "A Curriculum for Virtual Architecture", Proceedings of EuropIA'98, Paris, France, November 1998.
(Paper)
Description: We address the expertise of the architect as potential foundation in the development of a new professional field, Virtual Architecture, in which a virtual environments is not a means for design but the end product of design. The paper demonstrates that Virtual Architecture fulfills the three Vitruvian principals of Architecture: firmitas, utilitas, and venustas.

(Paper)
Description: Ilhan Koman was one of the innovative sculptors of the 20th
century. He frequently used mathematical
concepts in creating his sculptures and discovered a wide variety
of sculptural forms that can be of interest for the art+math
community. In this paper, we focus on developable sculptural forms
he invented approximately 25 years ago, during a period that
covers the late 1970's and early 1980's.

(Paper)
Description: Computer Aided Sculpting course is an experimental
interdisciplinary course that focuses on both artistic and
scientific aspects of shape modeling. I have been teaching this
course every year since 1996. The problems coming out of the
course influenced the development of our Topological Mesh Modeling
system, called TopMod. More than 10 students added new features
to TopMod while they were taking Computer Aided Sculpting course
as their projects. I have at least ten published papers and
sketches about the techniques I have developed while I was
teaching the course.
