Dr. Maj Plemenitas, founder of London and Melbourne based design research practice Linkscale introduces new approaches for generative territorial design and production through the inclusion and utilization of perpetual environmental processes working in collaboration with strategic design inputs, resulting in increased design agency spanning across the spatial, temporal and operational scales. Dr. Plemenitas is an inventor, researcher, and Associate Professor. His recent academic appointments include co-directorship of the MA/MLA Landscape Architecture programs at the Bartlett UCL, where he was also responsible for leadership of Architectural Design, Urban Design, and Landscape Architecture research clusters and design studios since 2012. Dr. Plemenitas is best known for his pioneering work in Cross Scale Design (2011 - ongoing) and Multi Scale Generative Design and Production, for example, Growing Islands and Resilient Shorelines with In-situ Forces and Materials (2010 - ongoing) and the Amphibious Interface (2012 – ongoing). He is focused on CSD Cross Scale Design and multi-scale strategies, systems, and structures in Architectural, Urban, and Landscape contexts. For his innovation and original research, he received a range of awards and grants including the Innovation in Construction Award and the Holcim Award. Plemenitas lectures internationally at leading global institutions including Harvard GSD, and Center for Architecture NYC as well as at numerous peer-reviewed conferences in Europe, North America, Australia, and Asia. He exhibits globally in venues including the Royal Academy of Arts London and Venice Biennale amongst others. Plemenitas has written and published numerous publications and peer-reviewed papers on the role of Cross-Scale Design, Territorial Scale Automation, Growing Islands and Resilient shorelines as well as Autonomous Production in Pelagic, Amphibious, Landscape, Urban, and Architectural contexts.
