CAADRIA 2024

Accelerated Design

CAADRIA (Computer-Aided Architectural Design Research in Asia) 2024, is a conference hosted by the Singapore University of Technology and Design, bringing together global leaders in computational design to reflect on the role of architecture and technology in a time of constant acceleration. Under the supervision of Practice Theory (Singapore), I worked alongside Pierre-Ange Aznar (Art Direction) and Léo Imbert (Motion Design) on the branding phase of the conference. Shaping an identity system that challenged clarity, celebrated distortion, and asked one provocative question: What happens when we accelerate too quickly?

The identity had to move, shift, and strain, just like the world it speaks to.

Project Description

CAADRIA 2024 explored the theme of Accelerated Design, asking what happens when systems—architectural, technological, environmental—move too fast. Our challenge was to turn that question into a visual identity that felt unstable, evolving, and alive.


Working with Practice Theory, I helped develop a branding system built on distortion, fragmentation, and generative logic. The logo stretched to the edge of recognition. Human-submitted gradients became training data for AI, creating a loop where each new asset was a degraded version of the last.


The identity became a living process, responsive, unstable, and self-aware. Not a look, but a tension. Not a system of control, but one that reflected the very chaos the conference aimed to confront.
