Dillon Day is an architectural designer based in San Francisco, currently working at Aidlin Darling Design. He received his Master of Architecture from the University of Pennsylvania after completing his undergraduate studies in Architecture at the University of Kentucky.
His work explores the relationship between material, form, and time. Architecture is understood as an evolving condition shaped by physical forces, ecological processes, cultural context, and human occupation.
Through drawing, modeling, and digital experimentation, his projects investigate how architectural ideas emerge, transform, and acquire meaning. Materials are understood not as passive surfaces, but as active elements that participate in the life of a building, recording the effects of time, environment, and use.
His work examines the tension between permanence and change, questioning the idea of architecture as a static or complete object. Instead, his projects explore how buildings continue to develop through transformation, adaptation, and interaction with the conditions around them.
Architecture exists within a continuous process of formation and reformation. By studying the relationships between material, environment, and occupation, his work investigates how architectural form can emerge through the forces that act upon it.
