Alisa Andrasek's Friday lecture reminded me of two famous architect, Antoni Gaudi and Zaha Hadid.
The algorithmic architecture of biothing is using the real physical elements such as magnetic field and gravity similar to Gaudi's La Sagrada Familia which used gravity in design process.

In addition, projects of biothings are wonderful, awesome, and futuristic similar to Hadid's work. For example, Hadid's fire station at Vitra Desing Museum doesn't use any parallel pair of line.

Here is my question. OK, Biothing's works look nice, futuristic, but how the people who will live or spend time in the space feel? I can't imagine I feel comfortable inside of biothing's project. I heard that firefighters in the fire station were too uncomfortable so it became one of the reason it's not used as a firestation anymore.
Every architecture has it's own purpose so all of them may not require comfort as high priority. However, I think any space has to have it as long as it is for human.
