For just less than a decade, Haresh Lalvani has been working on a series of projects with Milgo/Bufkin, a leading architectural metal‐fabrication company, seeking to economically integrate the shaping and making of metal surfaces into elements that create a seamless whole. Here, John Lobell interviews Lalvani about his pioneering work with computer‐aided design and manufacturing and how it has been informed by his development of the Morphological Genome, a universal code for mapping and manipulating form, whether natural or man‐made.
