Organising Committee
Soomeen Hahm is the founding director of the Soomeen Hahm Design Ltd and unit master of Research Cluster 9 at the Bartlett UCL.
As an architectural designer and educator based in London, she focuses on design through research within the computational paradigm in architecture across multiple scales and perspectives. Her main research looks at the ecology of computational power, technology and human intuition and the ways they overlap and impacts the design industry and physical environment. Her current design research focuses on the use of AR/VR assisted design and fabrication for executing complex digitally generated forms, augmented through wearable machines and human-computer interaction.
Soomeen has taught and lectured at numerous institutions in UK and internationally, teaching design studios, workshops and courses focusing on computational design. In addition to this, she is contributing to various online educational platforms and digital tool set libraries. Currently, she is a teaching fellow at UCL Bartlett School of Architecture in London, where she is directing Research Cluster 9 of Bartlettís B-Pro AD Master program under the title of ‘Augmented’. Prior to establishing her practice, Soomeen spent number of years working for Zaha Hadid Architects in London. She gained her Bachelor of Architecture degree at the Beijing Tsinghua University and her Master of Architecture degree at the Architectural Association Design Research Lab (DRL).
