HYGROSCOPE – METEOROSENSITIVE MORPHOLOGY Achim Menges in collaboration with Steffen Reichert, Centre Pompidou, Paris, 2012 The project explores a novel mode of responsive architecture based on the combination of material inherent behaviour and...
Morphogenetic Design Experiment 05 This morphogentic design experiment aims to evolve a differentiated surface structure consisting of a dense network of interlocking members from a basic array of simple, straight elements. To achieve complexity in the resultant...
Morphogenetic Design Experiment 04 This morphogentic design experiment focused on the computational and physical investigation of “minimal holes” cut into the fabric that considerably alter the behaviour of the membrane. While traditional form-finding methods focus on...
Morphogenetic Design Experiment 03 This Morphogentic design experiment is based on the parametric proliferation of very simple material components, namely twisted and bent paper-strips. In this project a digital component is defined as an open and extendable geometric...
Morphogenetic Design Experiment 02 The main aim of this morphogenetic experiment, a design commission for a pneumatic strawberry bar for the Architectural Association’s annual project review, was extending the evolutionary dynamics of reproduction, mutation,...
Morphogenetic Design Experiment 01 This Morphogenetic Design Experiment investigates the potential combination of digitally evolved geometry and computer-aided manufacturing, with the aim of achieving a coherency between manufacturing logic, material constraints and...
