Skin layer - Pattern Generation

At the same time, we moved also in another direction, defining and studying a skin pattern that will be applied to our final surface in order to reach some specific results combining the environmental input with the architectural-building itself.

Ground layer - Making out explorations

In order to achieve a better comprehension on what is going on under our hands and how to push the surface in the way we want, we made a really simple analysis of how our system is working and how the generative process is composed.

So below here we have some interesting diagrams.

Winding Ridges take shape - first design

We finally landed on something more concrete and physical, working with Grasshopper we made a concept design about how isocurves could be iterated and modified to generate different kind of surface that compenetrate creating a sort of multiple surface object.

Here you can find an interesting sequences of how a complex surface could be generate by simple isocurves from a flat plane.

Next Step - Investigating in different kind of transformations

After the first 125 transformations, we refined our morphogenesis techniques to explore in a closer and detailed field how an object could respond to specific external input such the sun, wind or any other fluid and how two or more elements could interact and connect by each other.

Let's start playing - 125 Morphogenesis

According to our last analysis, we started exploring this aerodynamics field by making our own proposals, 25 investigations for each category (TE, VA, CU, PE, XX) and discretizing all the transformations we discovered something really interesting for our specific parametric work.

Second Analysis - Deep in Aerodynamics

After our first collection, we tried to deeply explore our theme in order to understand better how any single elements respond to external input to resolve specific problems, and we categorized our collection of material by dividing it into 5 different field of application: TE - ridges and peaks, VA - vents and air intakes, CU - rear deflectors, PE - front baffles, XX - rims and wheels.

First look at the theme - 125 Examples of Concept Cars

The Fashion Robot aim to investigate on specific cases where the interconnected environmental conditions and cultural pressures are the colture terrain for system to thrive and grow onto. As a first investigation we decided to explore the Concept Car field, where technology and design combine together to provide a new answer to specific physical needs like aerodynamics. We searched the net for good and new designs, prototypes and impossible concepts to be inspired in our architectural field. This is our firs collection of 125 examples distributed in 4 different categories: aesthetics, performance, human, energy.
