FLYING DEEP on the SUNKEN BLIMP ft. Matheus Stancati

Sunken Blimp sits across architecture, technology, research and digital experimentation, which makes it a useful case study in how design work can stretch beyond traditional practice.

Stephen Drew speaks with Matheus Stancati of Sunken Blimp about interdisciplinary design, computational design, digital fabrication, XR development, scientific research, technology and architecture-led creative exploration.

The conversation covers:

• What Sunken Blimp is and how the studio works
• How computational design and digital fabrication connect
• Why XR development creates new design possibilities
• How scientific research and technology shape creative work
• What architects can learn from interdisciplinary experimentation
