rapid prototyping | contour crafting
For this semester’s ‘Robotic Fabrication in Architecture’ course our team will be exploring foam contour crafting techniques using Tcaup’s KUKA 6-axis industrial mill. Precedents for this technique have been under development since last fall, however similar processes used in concrete contour crafting have been explored for the past couple of years, most notably in the […]

Video from the Science Channel’s, Ants! Nature’s Secret Power. Here Leafcutter ants have constructed a subterranean nest, roughly 538 sq. ft across, with tunnels for shortest circulation routes, clean air intake, and carbon dioxide ventilation into chimneys reaching above the surface. Scientists filled the tunnels for three days with concrete, using 10 tons of concrete, […]
website reconstruction
The Archimorph website is currently down for redevelopment, and should be back online in the coming weeks. Please refer to the blog for all project developments until the website is back online.-JB
fractal natures ii
original article Unpacking the nature of fractals and the mathematical properties for why they are universally relevant. As scale decreases, the number of dimensions of k-Minkowski spacetime (red line), which is an example of a space with quantum group symmetry, decreases from four to three. In contrast, classical Minkowski spacetime (blue line) is four-dimensional on […]

Two projects of particular interest by Ariel Schwartz and Mike Chino. Archimorph began researching similar topics, using Bacillus pasteurii, also known as the cementer bug in 2007 as a ‘natural 3d printing device’ which would create habitable structures out of sand. Seed bombing technologies have also been of interest since early 2009 in the attempt […]
