PERFORMANCE II
What eco-morphology would like to mimick is the performative function of a simple geometric form. Geometric form that has certain repucurssions in itself. A honeycomb extrudes in 1 direction, but holding compressive forces from 6. Through parametric manipulations, one could understand, sometimes even exhaust the limitations and variation of this geometric form. Though such procedure, the integrated functionaity of the form is explored, it’s structural, compositional, environmental repucurssions would be noticible. That’s the morphological part of thing.
Architecture mimicking nature also comes in it’s ability to utilise a simple geometric form like a cell. Proliferation of such a cell into a array that transforms and differentiates itself through the manipulative parameters. Therefore some of these ‘cells’ become thicker and longer to hold load, some become thinner but extruding in a different orientation to differentiate lighting and directing views. And they are all honeycomb, the geometric form easily recognisable by the eyes.
I really enjoy this honeycomb morphology, visit the site by material system.
