[edit] Michael Philetus Weller
me buried in bloxes from the Human Hive
I am a phd candidate in the CoDe Lab at the Carnegie Mellon School of Architecture. My background in architecture and the philosophy of cognition has led to my interest in the ways that the designed objects that comprise our physical environment shape our society. My research currently focuses on using rapid prototyping, robotics and embedded computation to create artifacts that support novel modes of interaction. I am also interested in hacking open source tools to support design.
