Flock Wall (CPP)
The investigation explores emergent behavior through a full-scale prototype loosely analogous to a flock of birds. The seemingly erratic behavior of a flock of birds questions the collective nature and attempts to apply this emergent behavior to a full-scale prototype …
Biomimicry Shoe by Marieka Ratsma Kostika Spaho
Dutch designer Marieka Ratsma and Architect Kostika Spaho have teamed up together to create this interesting experiment in biomimicry and fashion.
Archimorph Online Portal
Archimorph is an amazing website related to everything we are interested about. You can lost in the extensive archive they’ve collected. Definitely check them out, some stuff gets a little theoretical but always relevant.
D-Shape: Freeform Architectural 3D Printing
Computation has enabled designers to manifest virtually any structure from the impossibly intricate to the most complexly curved surfaces we can conceive. Of course our Achilles heel is manufacturing these forms. Up to this point architects have had to achieve this by subtractive means (e.g. CNC …
Non Linear Systems at UPenn
Non-Linear Systems is a great resources for all design that is not linear aka emergent or generative. Roland Snooks and Jenny Sabin are highly involved in this research institute at UPenn run by Cecil Balmond.
NonLin/Lin Pavillion by Marc Fornes
French architect Marc Fornes, a pioneer and visionary of computational design based in Brooklyn, has designed and installed nonLin/Lin at the Frac Centre in Orleans France. Its an impressive pavilion design that, unlike many of the computationally driven constructions we’ve seen, attempts to resolve …
Skylar Tibbits – TED Talk on Robotic Construction
[ted id=1215] Skylar Tibbits talks at TED about the future of self replicating and naturally inspired robotic construction. Interesting insight into a rapidly developing field. Make sure to check out his work, great stuff. Below we’ve embedded some videos from his vimeo …
Listener – Behavioral Architectures
CITA is an innovative research environment part of the Royal Danish Academy of Architecture that explores the emergent intersections between architecture and digital technologies. Identifying core research questions into how space and technology can be probed, CITA seeks to investigate how the …
