About

MIM (mind-inspire-make) aims to achieve what its name suggests;

to mind the latest possibilities in architecture experimented with digital tools and developed by environmental concerns

to inspire and to be inspired by other researches

to make experiments, models, prototypes and workshops

mimdeer was created to be one of the nodes in the international network of architects sharing knowledge about parametric/algorithmic design, digital fabrication and sustainability.
