  • Summary

  • Yasushi Sakai is a researcher, artist, and architect that lives in the computer terminal. In this conversation, Yasushi explains his journey from being an architect to his current research at MIT's Media Lab. He discusses his time working in architecture firms and his involvement in digital design divisions. He reflects on the limitations of parametric design tools like Rhino and Grasshopper in fundamentally changing the design process. Yasushi introduces us to the unique composition of the Media Lab and its focus on realizing research ideas and testing them in the real world. We discuss his research on propagational proxy voting systems, which combines fractional voting and liquid democracy. He explains how this voting system can be applied to decision-making in architecture and urban planning.
