Abstract
It’s fascinating how certain natural processes form according to a specific demand and consequently achieve this with the available matter in a very efficient way. The aesthetics which result from this are completely arbitrary and only a result of the specific demand and material properties. However, these aesthetics are satisfying for man since the environment man evolved in was constituted by it. For these reasons, the functional demand, efficiency, and aesthetic qualities, these ways of morphogenesis are very suitable for architectural design.
Contemporary technologies enable us to abstract these natural processes and translate them into digital algorithms, which enables us to design according to these logics. However, technologies have become so technical that they’ve become unavailable to the larger public. This ‘Fablab’ will aim to tighten this gap by providing the ability to make use of certain contemporary ways of design and manufacturing.
The Bauhaus movement is a clear example of design according to contemporary means. To celebrate the 100 year anniversary of the Bauhaus movement, the ‘Fablab’ will be located in between the Bauhaus institute and the Dessau train station, metaphorical to the contemporary technologies and the public. It will consist of, amongst others, several production factories, an experimental factory linked to the Bauhaus Institute, an auditorium, a restaurant and a hotel.
The design will be formed by a sequence of algorithms which simulate natural processes with certain spatial similarities as the architectural demands on a specific scale. At the macro scale an algorithm which simulates swarming behavior of certain organisms will determine the spatial distribution within the building. In these swarms each individual acts according to its own demands as well as in responds to its neighbors. The result is a spatial composition seemingly acting as an individual. In an architectural design every space in the program can be assigned with its specific spatial demands in relation to the environment, surroundings and other parts of the program and find a place accordingly.
