-In early 2011 Archimorph will be publishing their first book, self-titled; Archimorph Book I: Architecture, Biomimetics, Technology. More information will be available closer to the release date.-JB

Like a microscopic (and monochromatic) version of Tetris, Merismopedia cells form square-packed colonies. These cyanobacteria, plucked from a New England salt marsh, were flooded with ultraviolet light that was later filtered out of the image to reveal a red hue produced by chlorophyll molecules inside the cells. –National Geographic Merismopedia (from the Greek merismos (division) […]

Ahylo lab in collaboration with supermanoeuvre and kokkugia are pleased to announce the launch of the Apomechanes 2010 studio (seminar and workshop) to be held from the 19th of July till the 6th of August. Apomechanes is an international intensive 3-week computational design studio held each summer in Athens, Greece. The studio is devoted to […]

Minority Report science adviser and inventor John Underkoffler demos g-speak — the real-life version of the film’s eye-popping, tai chi-meets-cyberspace computer interface. Is this how tomorrow’s computers will be controlled? Below are a few passages from Natural-Born Cyborgs, Andy Clark relating to that of the evolution of technology and their influence on human society; …lets […]

-Text from Nikos Salingaros, A Theory of Architecture 7.Circumventing Our Immune System A meme acting as a virus uses packaging or surface configurations. An attractive shell (that appears beneficial to the organism) permits a biological virus to attach to a host and inject its DNA. In the case of an architectural meme, the analogous packaging […]

A British scientist says he is the first man in the world to become infected with a computer virus. Dr Mark Gasson from the University of Reading had a chip inserted in his hand which was then infected with a virus. The device, which enables him to pass through security doors and activate his mobile […]

‘Mutation, at its base level, is an evolution technique for the production of potentially useful anomalies. It exists when an offspring has a genetic trait produced by a new DNA sequencing that does not exist in the parent. Unfortunately, ‘mutation’ is also one of the most debased terms within the glossary of contemporary architecture, being […]

‘Speciation is the evolutionary process by which new biological species arise. Term used to descibe the splitting of lineages or ‘cladogensis’ as opposed to ‘anagesnsis’ or ‘phyletic evolution’ occuring within lineages. Whether genetic drift is a minor or major contributor to speciation is the subject of much ongoing discussion. There are four geographic modes of […]

This week Archimorph will begin work as consultant among other designers [Sbanter, VerS, and morphism design] developing interior design for Hangar 9 bar. Parametric and building performance software will be employed to install and fabricate multiple spatial enhancing pieces to the interior, including lighting and acoustical enhancements. The project will be well documented to show […]

Within the coming months the University of Michigan Tuabman College (School of Art + Design) along with Supermanouvre(David Pigram) and Matter Design(Wes Mcgee) are setting forth a publication documenting the previous three years (2008, 2009, 2010) of robotic research conducted by studios at the graduate level. Archimorph acted as consultant and lead design in the […]
