About
Dr. Jessica Farmer is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of digital fabrication, augmented reality (AR), and architectural construction. Her work fundamentally reimagines how craftspeople interact with complex material systems, focusing on partially ordered—rather than fully predetermined—structures. In her landmark 2023 paper, "Minimal machines: augmented reality for filament-construction of partially ordered systems in architecture," Farmer introduced a wearable AR framework that tracks and informs the real-time relationship between builders and their evolving structures. This innovation allows for adaptive, human-guided assembly where material feedback is critical, bridging the gap between computational design and physical craftsmanship. Though her most-cited work has garnered 3 citations to date, its conceptual impact is significant, laying groundwork for responsive, low-tech construction methods. Farmer’s contributions are especially notable for challenging the dominance of fully automated fabrication, advocating instead for augmented human agency in architectural production. Her research speaks directly to students and practitioners interested in cyber-physical systems, human-computer interaction, and sustainable building practices, offering a vision where technology enhances rather than replaces skilled labor.
