Building and Material Sytems
How do we build like nature? How do we already reflect nature’s processes in fabrication and how might we do it better? I am researching methods of fabrication and the materials used, addressing questions of resource economy and strength or fitness. I am curious about how we resolve our aesthetics and desire for speed with natural processes.
An obvious living material system in “fabrication” may be tissue (at least it comes up a lot when I talk about the topic).
