structurally, how do these stand?  Where do people enter the equation?  This is script driven sculpture.  I have no idea how to connect this to the reality of buildings people want to live, work, or play in, let alone buy.

1- the "swarm" has an embedded intelligence within each of its members and in sum total. it is the product of its environment - by that, roughly understood as all processes, past or present, that exist outside the formula/s of the internal amalgamation-  prior to being a product of its "own" laws.  the facbrications of yours is a product of a rather solipsistic and necessarily  very limited  (if i may come up with a term) mono-natura-temporal process that observes

now, while the principle and the translatin of the principle is promising in a very specific and very limited sense, one cannot present this as a new breed of fabrication. we have seen many instances of this method - does another instance really warrant a branding?

2- there is an implicit association between this method and a rather turgid  viewpoint on symmetry and its associated geometrical world. i see this as a watered down cliche' to be honest. symmetry is, if anything, in a virtual word that furnishes the possibility of symmetry, is a contextually valid example of self organization: after all, there is no external agent to force this symmetry.

i love Formica..always have, always will

Will there be enough closet space?

This thread has delivered my monthly dose of pseudo-intellectual bullshit.

I recognize this project.

@calculator,
this is agent-based research, not a finalized building. You are too lazy to read the text.

@Paulie

I understood it quite well.  I even said exactly that - script driven sculpture.

But its also not unique and completely removed from the reality of designing and constructing a building people can and want to use.  The "research" doesn't explain how it connects to the reality of the built form.  It's just sculpture, and entirely digital and unintended sculpture at that.

What a deep analysis calculator. "It's just a form!! has no relevance to architecture! I love doodling and reading Frank Lloyd Wright novels!"
Thanks for gracing us with your brilliance.

Whats worse than pedantic people? Pedantic parametric monkeys who lack the ability to coherently address the various, often banal questions that people are asking here. Instead of engaging with what in some cases is clearly a generational/ perceptional gap, they come across as anal retentive idiots full of misplaced angst.

Its disingenuous to dismiss computational processes (parametrics included) in today's world, not just in the realm of Architecture, but almost all other disciplines. However, I really wish that this forum had some learned individuals who would be able to convey the broadness of the notion of 'parametricism' without condescension. Instead what we have are these idiots who display the communication skills of a spoilt 3 year old waiting for a nappy change. The problem with 'parametricism' is that communicating its ideas needs dexterity, grace and a complete and utter lack of dogma. Qualities which these 'parametric warriors'  most clearly lack.

To those whose are asking all the seemingly banal questions, it would serve you well to read some of these people - Neil Leach, Greg Lynn and Paul Coates for starters.

Greg Lynn is a douche

@the nothing

Like Formicis, your previous comment was nothing but hot air and emptiness.  Thank you for showing us how much *your* supposed brilliance is worth.  I suppose your comment practically created itself, so it probably isn't your fault or intention.

plenty of posts, books, buildings, realities can sign for what this project is looking into. 

you've just miscalculated.

by all means, relate this sculpture to architecture in a meaningful way.  I'd appreciate this being explained in a meaningful and straightforward manner to someone as slow as I am.

....preparing a reading list just for you ❤

I don't need a reading list.  a paragraph or two will do.  Some examples.  just make it...real.
