Robotic Exhalation is a collection of experimental Architectural objects cast with air. These objects utilize compressed air as a moving, dynamic formwork that eliminates the need for highly articulated, single-use formwork.  This new mode of casting taps into several veins of research - all at once concerned with exploring materiality and performative surface patterns, and reinterpreting conventions set for concrete (a ubiquitous construction material) and compressed air (a common utility in any fabrication shop).
