Juried exhibition, biological processes and computation. Image: Fiber Composite Structures: Growth under Stress, Christina Doumpioti, Architectural Association, Emergent Technologies + Design. “The core idea of this research, entitled “Fibre Composite Structures: Growth Under Stress”, is the incorporation of the morphogenetic principles found in natural systems in order to generate a fibre-composite structure. The aim is the integration of form, material, structure and program into a multi-performative system that will satisfy simultaneously several objectives.”

History of Curved Origami Sculpture
by Erik Demaine and Martin Demaine. “There is a surprisingly old history to curved origami sculpture, going back to the 1920s at the Bauhaus. We give here a partial history focusing on the earliest known references.”
Generative processes and digital fabrication. Jewelry, furniture and other design work by Jessica Rosenkrantz + Jesse Louis-Rosenberg. “Nervous System is an experimental design studio that uses new technologies to reinterpret natural phenomena. Nervous Sytstem combine algorithmic, generative, and interactive strategies with rapid prototyping methods to create products.” nervous-system@flickr
Exhibition at Thyssen-Bornemisza Art Contemporary, Vienna. “The specific architectural objects are derived from design practices—exemplified by the work of Alisa Andraschek biothing, Hernan Diaz Alonso Xefirotarch, Greg Lynn FORM, Neri Oxman MATERIALECOLOGY, Aranda\Lasch and R&Sie(n)—that utilize the performative powers of algorithms and advanced geometry.”

Furrow and untitled cedar sculpture
Ben Butler, Sculptures & Installations at Zg Gallery, Chicago. “The spirit of science, of discovery and illumination, is central to Ben Butler’s art. Ultimately, everything made is first found. Yet, for both art and science, successful work must allow others not to simply rediscover what you have discovered, but to make, through the work, their own discoveries. The work then remains alive. “

DAG is Andrea Flamenco and Gabriel Bach.”At a time when the convergence of computation and biogenetics is ushering all of us into the so-called post-human era, an immanent future that is destined to be filled with various forms of biogenetic mutation at every level of the organic and the inorganic, ranging from transgenic mutation of crops to the synthesis of new forms of species including human clones, that constitutes the cultural universe of humanity while simultaneously enveloped by what, currently, is referred to as the inevitable emergence of a global ubiquitous computing system that connects everything with everything imaginable […]”
by michael hansmeyer, who asks “what method, what system does an architect use to design a building? how are programmatic needs and context - with their degrees of freedon and constrains - translated into architectual design?” His algorithmic experiments, including 2d and 3d subdivision, L-systems, and parametrization explore the possibilities to answer these questions.

Kunst-Formen der Natur (Art Forms in Nature), by Ernst Haeckel, 1898.A flickr set by EricGjerde. Another online version is available via Kurt Stueber (Index aller 100 Tafeln).
by robert hodgin. forms and shapes inspired by biologist, naturalist, phiolosopher, artist Ernst Haeckel, who compiled thousands of new species illustrated and described in “kunstformen der natur”. Being a big fan of Hackel’s drawings myself, i am equaly amazed by robert’s translations expressed within the language of code.
