Too complex to understand for my small brain, but it looks amazing. The renderings above are the result of algorithms and computation to create architectural shapes and structures. As the creator, architect Michael Hansmeyer, explains on his website : 'This opens up a new role for algorithms as a design tool. As such, they provide the benefits of depth and breadth. On the one hand, their computational power can address processes with a scale and complexity that precludes a manual approach. On the other hand, algorithms can generate endless permutations of a scheme. A slight tweaking of either the input or the process leads to an instant adaptation of output. When combined with an evaluative function, they can be used to recursively optimize output on both a functional and aesthetic level.' (AJ)

Stunning, these look beautiful. And if they had some sort of light in them make for great lighting products. Algorithms as a design tool - wow, who would have thought that we could feed a computer some formula and it would do the job for us? Life is indeed getting topsy turvy.
ReplyDeleteFunnily enough there is a plant, I believe belonging to the family of brocoli, who uses almost the same algorithmic structures in its growth
