…however this system is not intended for today[the present/past], or tomorrow[near-future], but looking further into the future (say 20 years) when the phosphorus pollution is foreseen to be at its highest rates, and by this time there will be even newer unimagined technologies, some of which are already proposed and in testing. Already today there […]

Studying principles of aggregation, influenced by D’Arcy Thompson, Alan Turing and Ernst Haeckel, Andy Lomas uses mathematical aggregation equations to produce beautiful natural organic forms. The other source comes from the exhibition at Museum of Design, Zurich. einfach komplex – Bildbäume und Baumbilder in der Wissenschaft. — 4 September 2005. -JB Andy Lomas Paul Bourke

an interesting article from 2006, swarm architecture ii. this is a very intriguing article in light of the recent project which will show a design for a system of autonomous agents along the huron watershed. -JB Space is a computation. Architects design constructs as to structure the movements of information. This is true for the […]

We have been interested in ANTS for some time, and were looking at this technology in development by NASA at the start of the IaaC2 competition in 2007. This time around ANTS is being looked at again for the Huron Rivershed project: autonomous swarms. This technology offers a multitude of opportunities for building technology in […]

‘ We are currently continuing to work on our L-System and Evolutionary Algorithm. Getting ready for ACADIA we are putting together a proposal for an exhibition, rendering new images of our L-Systems growths, as well as creating new diagrams explaining the process of the overall design.

The above illustration (available for use) shows one way in which mechanisms can be organized to quickly build large products from nanoscale parts, using an approach suggested by Ralph Merkle in which small parts converge to form larger parts in a simple, systematic pattern. It is perhaps best explained by starting at the end and […]
