Regan Ching
currently second year architecture student of UTS, and founding member of PixelNest. Responsible throughout conceptual design, detailing and development, contributor of design testing and re-engagement. His aspiration for the synergy of aesthetic form and function led to numerours rapid prototyping during the development of the PixelNest. Immense interest in effective design after Michael Hansel's lecture on Morph Ecologies.

Phil Clemens
a confused young man with too much time on his hands. He has run full tilt into this project and has leaped, tripped and fallen over obstacles placed in the pathway of pixel-nest completion. Focusing on the conceptual direction for the pixel-nest, he has pushed the lightweight pavilion to structural extremes and prays to some under-defined being that the final product stands straight on two sides. To Phil, the future holds an equally under-defined boundary. Fulfilment, enlightenment and a decent job seem a long way off.

Nik Scott
as a founding member of the team, was integral in the conceptual design, detailing and design development of the project. He brought external skills in project management, logistics and supplier liaison to the process. Interest in tension, texture and opportunity within materials and design engage his passion in the built environment. Commercially realizing products that combine these elements is a primary interest. Having run wholesale and retail business´ his focus now is on design and production.

Andrew Toland
was a member of the pixel.nest team from its inception and played a pivotal role in developing its design, structure and construction system. He brings a wide interdisciplinary perspective to the study of architecture, with a background in political economy and law. Interests in complexity, digital organisation of systems and their implications for architectural programs fuel his passion for architecture. The pixel.nest provided ample opportunity to explore the intricate geometry of a structural system with over 300 separate components and resolve these into an ostensibly simple form. This year, Andrew was also the National Vice-President for Events of SONA, the student arm of the Royal Australian Institute of Architects.

Sally Hsu
helping to detail for documentation purpose and experimental designs. Roles undertaken was to audit documentation to ensure that details necessary was all included, as information may be lost through the handling of several members at specific stage of the design, and set up systematic identification methods to ensure the identification and assembly process of such large number of components involved is to be as smooth as possible. Skills contributed include organizational skills and effective communication methods for design.

Carl-Magnus Elander
Student from Sweden, currently second year architecture student of UTS and assisting member of the team. The pixel.nest project is a great opportunity for him to practice architectural detailing and experimental design and to assist and help in the preparation of manufacturing and building it.

Interests in provocative architecture, architectural activism and architectural collaging, aiming to create the unexpected that makes ordinary people start thinking and raising questions of their own situation and the situation of the world.

Adrian Lahoud
is a practicing architect and a lecturer at The University of Technology Sydney. His current research is into emergent urbanism. His other research interests are the relationship between conflict and patterns of urbanisation in Lebanon, Palestine and Israel, and the relationship of digital modes of production to urban design. His teaching work has aimed to develop techniques and logics from within the discipline of architecture where questions of process, materiality and organisation are foregrounded. Prior to establishing his own practice Adrian worked with a number of prominent Australian artists, architects and landscape architects.

Joanne Jakovich
is an interactive architect and researcher specialising in interactive spaces spanning art, architecture and urbanism. Her work has been exhibited in Japan, Australia, Taiwan and the Netherlands both in architectural and artistic contexts. She obtained a Masters from the University of Tokyo working with architects Hidetoshi Ohno and Fumihiko Maki and is the producer of numerous international projects integrating urban activism and art. She is currently pursuing a PhD in architecture at the University of Sydney, and is a senior lecturer in the School of Architecture at UTS.
