Of late Skylar Tibbits’ research has been focused on self-assembling non-mechanical systems that are actuated not by a power source per say but rather by a material’s inherent properties and its programmable form. Continue reading → Vertebrae Staircase – Andrew Lee McConnell
The Vertebrae Staircase was inspired by the spine of a whale and its design goes beyond being categorized as biomorphic where form is merely geometrically copied. The project explores the shaping and forming of a single vertebrae whose form was heavily influenced by structural performance, repetition, and modular connectivity. Continue reading → 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. Continue reading → HygroScope – Centre Pompidou Paris
HygroScope is an installation sponsored by the Centre Pompidou in Paris and was developed as a collaboration between Steffen Reichert and Professor Achim Menges at the University of Stuttgart, Germany. The project is an extension of prior research conducted by Reichert that culminated in two projects entitled Responsive Surfaces Structures I & II. Both Steffen Reichert and Professor Achim [...] Continue reading → 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. Continue reading → Meta Series by Simbiotek Design Lab
Simbiotek Design Lab (SDL) is a collaborative between two designers based out of San Diego, CA whose focus is the creation of biomimetic products that edify their clientele on the importance of biodiversity in the natural world. While both are trained as architects their individual emphases range from design computation and advanced fabrication techniques to anthropomorphic and environmental design. [...] Continue reading → 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. Continue reading → Skylar Tibbits – TED Talk on Robotic Construction
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 page. Continue reading → 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 current forming of a digital culture impacts on architectural thinking and practice. The program’s projects are [...] Continue reading →
