About

Saqib Aziz is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of architecture, digital fabrication, and immersive technologies. His work focuses on reimagining collaborative design processes through Mixed Reality (MR) and interactive installations, fundamentally questioning how users can co-create physical spaces in real time. His most notable contribution is the "Pop-Up Factory," a mixed reality installation developed for the MakeCity Festival 2018 in Berlin. This project introduced a novel, integrated approach where users control and alter a bespoke fabrication process via a custom, multi-modal holographic interface. By live-streaming user input directly into the construction workflow, Aziz demonstrated a paradigm shift from passive observation to active, collaborative making. His research, supported by papers such as "Communication Landscapes," has garnered early citations (over 15 across his top works) and is influencing emerging fields like human-computer interaction in architecture. Aziz’s work stands out for its hands-on, festival-based experimentation, bridging the gap between digital design and tangible, community-driven urban production.
