About
Designer / programmer, Arian Muindi explores spatial computation, data science and architecture. His current research is designing artificially intelligent world models that approach physical location as a primary data stream, reading movement of people and mobile objects as a shifting predictable swarm to read world information systems. His practice spans architecture, data science, computation and artistry.
He is also on the early stages of a venture, Mbali, in the public transportation tech space leveraging data science and spatial computation to digitize informal public transit systems. A recent Master in Design Studies graduate from the Harvard Graduate School of Design, he was Valedictorian of the 69th graduating class of the University of Nairobi and the recipient of its Vice Chancellor’s Award. He has held a Student Fellowship of the International Union of Architects, exhibited his work at the East Africa Regional Workshop and Exhibition, and taught at the Harvard GSD. His thesis on the geometric forms of modern architecture in Nairobi CBD continues to inform a practice that seeks beauty in the everyday while questioning foundational knowledge.
