Abstract

Design strategies based on emergent material effects share as a common characteristic a kind of “untidiness” or inherent vagueness which cannot be entirely controlled but rather predicted in computational approximations [9]. This paper discusses the relation of global geometry (pre-defined/top-down) and local material effects evolving from material properties and fabrication methods (emergent/bottom-up). Furthermore, it describes the correlation of geometry, aesthetics, material performance, structural ability and fabrication strategy within the project, the development of the design and fabrication strategy, the experimentation and testing of the method within a design studio as well as the physical prototyping through robotics.
