Drones drawn from the
codex.
Grown from the forest.
We design drones and mechanisms in the lineage of Leonardo — first sketched on paper, then built from bamboo, walnut, and materials the earth replenishes.
— what we are making —
Three doors into the workshop.
§ I.
The workshop.
Four drones — quad, ornithopter, balanced, delta-wing. Every plate is open — drawings, specs, components, lessons.
See the four →
§ II.
The materials.
Bamboo as engineering material — properties, sourcing, processing — and what we will not pretend.
Read the study →
§ III.
The philosophy.
Why we draw before we build, why we build from the forest, and why every machine should outlive its owner.
