So You have 5 minuets to get from the ground floor all the way to the liberty avoiding the traffic? Well have no fear, the magicians ramp is here! The 3 levelled ramp spins on its axis in case people are needing to get to a lecture or studio on time.

The Involvement of Biometric Design in my Bridge

Including my concept of achieving a bridge representing the importance of biometrics in computational design has made me dive deeper into researching natural elements in which prove to emergent in their environments. So natural elements that are designed for a purpose in its environment aswell as asphetics. The natural phenomenon my direction has been focused on is the the Conch shell.


The shell of the Conch is contains multiple layers of micro-organisms, to create a hard surface and to protect the Conch from any outer injury.

This is a proven fact as regular Conches live up to 7 years, while the Queen Conch can live another 30.

To present this idea into my design it influences my design to be a structural secutiy system, perhaps with a glass layering over some surfaces to include nature into detail, but use a thick material glass to protect the Interior from harsh weather.

As well, this glass facade could be part of my moving elements. Opens and closes for ventilation and natural heating, yet closes depending on weather.

Even the Spiral look of the shell integers me. It is beautifully layered and creates a vast majority of space and rotation.

 The Shell

I believe the shell type bridge both applies to my concept as it takes the shells dominant supportive yet elegant structure into its design, featuring natural Emergence.

School Inspiration

Patrick Schumacher's Beethoven Concert Hall, Bonn Germany
           

                                     

 Patrick Schumachers Beethoven Concert Hall was designed to replicate a crystalline rock form. This is because crystales naturally absorb light from the sun, and essentially makes beautiful colours and makes the solid rock aesthetically pleasingg. The stone design also incorporates the erosion that occurs to stones during weather. Schumacher uses the erioded style in his design not only to create a dynamic look on the exterior, but to create a dynamic spacial array inside.

I am inspired by Schumacher's choice of biometric design, as he incorporates the natural elements into his building to create beauty.

Ex 3 Week 1-- The Article

Emergence refers to the process whereby an infant acquires language from its environment, from prelinguistic communication to communication with languages. All good design is necessarily adaptive, and that the optimal method of achieving an adaptive design follows a Darwinian process, a major stimulus for where the idea of design features was introduced, and the language was compared with various forms of animal communication. Embedding the logics of materiality into design processes by using organisms as biological role models, whose performance are extended to geometric structures, are tested, analyzed, evaluated, and finally transferred into an architectural prototype. Rediscovering the structure can only be done with the help of computational tools, problem solving, mental structures, cognition, simulation, and rule-based intelligence.  

Certain prototypes will guarantee that the end result will resemble that reference prototype.  

While the end result of copying a prototype may not be the most original possible, it does guarantee a strong measure of usefulness, as the derived design inherits the adaptive properties of the original.

Furthermore, nonlinguistic information provided by the environment, such as visual information, is important when linguistic information is inadequate for comprehension. 

Reflecting the ethical horizon of such undertakings should also be part of the discourse on Computational Design Culture, since it does not end with the optimisation of things, but reconfigures the ideas of life, design, and matter.
