Bio |
|
Bob Trempe is a professor and designer focusing on the instructional logic and formal beauty of information visualization through the output of repetitious systems. This research includes experiments with field manipulations, digital planer fabrication techniques, animation and mapping techniques, and theoretical papers, all of which seek to show the logic AND beauty of quantitative and qualitative information. His research can be seen both his conceptual work through his office Dis-section Architectural and Media Design (DAMD) as well as professional work with the design office of Verspoor & Trempe. Speculative projects such as “Slpistream” can be seen in the 2006 Birkhauser book “Distinguishing Digital Architecture.” |
