evan GREENBERG + christina DOUMPIOTI – biodynamic structures
02.11.10 11am – 2pm
through simple relationships, biological organisms achieve complex ‘emergent’ structures and performances from simple components. analysis of natural systems and their biomimetic applications suggests the possibility of a radical bottom-up programme for architectural design. this research investigates how the boundary between the ‘natural’ and the man-made has been reconfigured by biomimetic engineering, and explores how this can lead to the evolution of new materials that may play a significant role in shaping the future of our built environment.
