A spatial design practitioner living at the crossroads of design, emerging tech & neurotechnology. Founder of Spatial Forces, a next-gen spatial design agency.

My organisation

Spatial Forces is a next-generation spatial design agency pioneering new models of practice across architecture, urbanism, and immersive media. Structured as a system of specialized Units, the agency operates across scales and media — from the microcontroller to the territory. Born out of shifting technological and ecological conditions, Spatial Forces integrates advanced tools such as AI, neurotechnology, spatial computing, and generative systems into design workflows. The Units framework enables deep specialization while fostering cross-disciplinary exchange, responding to today’s complex spatial challenges with agility and precision. Beyond designing environments, Spatial Forces prototypes new forms of practice, collaboration, authorship, and creative ownership — building an ecosystem that empowers emerging talent, supports distributed innovation, and expands the field of spatial design itself. Currently based in Austria, Barcelona, Dubai, and Shanghai.
