Masters Project of a group of students (CAAD) of ETH Zurich, Switzerland

Based upon 3-dimensional “cellular automata”, m.any displays the concept and prototypical realization of a complete digital work flow from parametric design to production on CNC-machines. An irregular spatial structure generated by algorithms was controlled and manipulated through an especially developed software. In addition to the calculation of the complex geometry, the software also generated necessary [...]

Adaptive Growth of Fibre Composite Structures

Christina Doumpioti Architectural Association, Emergent Technologies + Design The core idea of this research is the incorporation of the morphogenetic principles found in natural systems in the generation of fibre-composite structures by exploiting, at the maximum, the intrinsic performative capacities of the material system in use. The intention is the integration of form, material, structure [...]
