In the above Mediatheque Sendai and The Connected lives of Ants both naturally developed because express components: Fluidity, Order Unstable and Transparent both designs and try to prolong the inside outwards emphasizing the continuity of the space.
Sendai Mediatheque is built and consists of 3 main elements: plate, pipe, and skin; The dwellings or places of life of ants naturally developed into huge amounts of solid ground. Both filters and communications develop from the inside to the outside creating the connection. Sendai trying to translate the conditions of society in the architecture using digital media and inhabit ants more naturally, where there is no reason, no logic, only the will of intuition. The most important thing is that both are able to develop their buildings in a collective way as a colonial system that plays an essential role (some can not do), but it (the participation of all in coordination can accomplish anything), large jobs or buildings.
This is a new concept in architecture that expresses much fluidity, lightness, like seaweed moving freely; image or sketches was poetic, far from any known reality, using dimensions, codes, numbers, position, displacement, and utilization of software. This is a project that is parametric and made parametrically.
The ants inhabit is a concept that is made of wild type with lots of places made in huge amounts of solid ground, for its swarm logic is a dominant force, behavior emerge from colonies with constant communication and interaction is the key to understanding the overall behavior evident achievements of its great buildings of its proportions; exploring their spaces without predefined orders. This is a clear sign that these buildings are habitat can see it’s a 100% parametric project, but with the difference that has not been done parametrically.
In conclusion I reached a confirmation of the above projects there today that are parametric and conducted parametrically and others like constructions that have been developed since ancient times, it can be observed that are parametric but are not made or constructed parametrically (no logic, no reason, are free as the wind and flow like a natural organism but is there the ability to achieve and suggest how they can do.
