Project length
1 month
This project was done by a student Echo (Shanghai, China) preparing to enter a first year of an architecture school. The project is aimed at creating an art spatial installation that fills any given small room space. The installation had to be created using generative computational tools such as Rhino/Grasshopper and coupled with extensive physical testing on small scale models and 1:1 scale models.
The emergent properties of the installation had to be explored by the student not having any particular blueprint in mind but rather let the installation ‘grow by itself’ based on bottom-up logic which can be found in emergent behaviour of swarms and other phenomena found in nature.
The installation had to be maximum adaptable to any space conditions and create a space filling structure that had to be easily assembled and disassembled. Using laser-cutting machine numerous identical components were produced by the student and assembled manually achieving various spatial configurations.
