Ethereal was a Speculative Architectural research project that was a part of the "Not Making Architecture" Studio Instructed by Hernan Diaz Alonso and Rachael McCall. The premise of the research studio was to steer away from traditional forms of exploration, design, and representation within architecture and to come up with unusual, absurd ways to explore architectural design. Ethereal explored the aesthetic of "the magical" through a series of formal and visual compositing experiments, gradually evolving into a series of abstract, mysterious objects created through careful digital sculpting and simulations.
