A prototype that attempts to create surface systems with the flexible qualities of a textile. A hexagonal grid adapts to changing spatial needs and creates transformative environments within architecture systems. The website includes a video that shows the piston mechanism of the surface and explains how its movement translate into malleable structures

Benoit Mandelbrot & Paola Antonelli
Paola Antonelli wrote her architecture thesis on fractal geometry and its relationship to architecture, more than 18 years later she joins Benoit Mandelbrot, the mathematician known as the father of fractal geometry, to talk about the impact his research has had on architecture. Paola Antonelli is a curator of design and architecture at MOMA in New York City.

The School of Art, Design and Media at Nanyang Technological University in Singapore displays an architecture that blends landscape, structure and technology. The green roof arms not only insulate the building and harvest rainwater, but they are also accessible to students to use as community space. The glass curtain walls dissolve the boundaries between outdoors and indoors and allow sunlight to iluminate the interiors. The building also explores the educational interior challenging the conventional teacher-student arrangement with informal studios, lobbies and lounges. Overall the building stands as an example of how the relationship between urban and nature is not always about the control of one over the other.

La escuela de arte y diseño en la universidad Nanyang Technological en Singapur expresa una arquitectura que mezcla paisaje, estructura y tecnología. El curveado techo verde no solamente insula el edificio y recolecta agua de lluvia sino que también se usa como espacio comunal para los estudiantes. Las paredes de vidrio conectan el exterior con el interior y permite que la luz del sol ilumine los interiores. El edificio también rompe la idea convencional del interior educativo creando estudios informales, lobbies y lounges. El edificio es un ejemplo de como la relación entre lo urbano y lo natural no necesariamente tiene que ser sobre el control de uno sobre el otro.

House in Victoria, Australia designed by Paul Morgan Architects uses interior water tank for storage and cooling

“ This house is located in an area near rugged coastline subject to strong prevailing winds and sits within an expanse of native tea tree. The pattern of tree growth is caused by light stimulus, or phototropism. In this project the analysis of dynamic forces – wind energy, wind turbulence and phototropism – have informed the modeling of the building envelope.
Within the living room the ceiling wraps down to an internal water tank. The tank cools the ambient air temperature of the living room during summer, supplies rain water, and structurally carries the roof load. Excess water drains to an external tank, and is used for flushing toilets, irrigating the garden, washing wetsuits and occasionally for drinking. During winter the tank is drained and wrapped in an insulating jacket. The tank also plays an important role in organizing the living area into four discrete zones: kitchen, living, eating and work.
Wind scoops on the south elevation also act as a passive thermal device. These scoops trap cooling winds during summer whilst providing shading from the hot afternoon sun.
