An exercise to study emergence in a single system

Exercise 1

Deforomation tools > bend

Comments would be appreciated...

Second deformation type acting both vertically and horizontally.
Tool: non-linear bend

More on wave deformation: changing plane angles.

Process of emergence-static frame 3

Starting Process....static frame 1

a step towards the abstract machine

Deformation tools > wave

"First order emergent structure occurs as a result of shape interactions"

Seemingly regular grid from above, after 1st application of deformation: wave 1

2nd application of deformation: wave 2

Final Review: Exomorphic Integrations, Die Angewandte Vienna

Now this was the end of a 9 days module that Sandra and I held at the Urban Strategies studio of the Angewandte. Urban Strategies is the postgraduate program of the University of Applied Arts in Vienna. This module was for the freshmen of the course, in order to familiarize them with a couple of concepts of advanced architecture design. Issues such as emergence, self-organization, gradients, topologies and more are explored within this course, and casted into embryonic ideas of possible urban textures. We will continue the course next semester and develop the ideas that emerged throughout the course in more detail. Hernan Diaz Alonso, Head of LA based architecture firm Xefirotarch was so kind to join into the panel of critics, the panel also included Brennan Buck, Oliver Bertram, Reiner Zettl and my partner Sandra Manninger.
