Bio-Futuristic Design Studies

INTRODUCTION

Nowadays, The biological growth system provides a number of sound answers to the question of optimisation and adaptation. All Growth patterns have different function,al-gorithms and behaviours.

These experimental researches seeks to answer to the question of how these ele-ments can be used for the sustainable futuristic design methodology.

The first step of the researches is based upon observation. This observation-centered study revealed several unexpected textures and structures. There are several sources of nutrients use for the experimental observation research, namely yogurt, bread, flour, wa-ter, orange bits, metal wires and hot glue.

Following the observation, the observation results and data are analysed and optimised within three steps. The researches use 3d scanning machine, 3d printing machine and 3d model programmes, namely autodesk 3ds max 2014, rhino 5.0, grasshopper(plugins) and processing(java).

Consequently, the researches show that architects and designers could explore and adaptate the existing systems in the design methodology.

Topic Words: grotwh algorithm, self-organising systems, 3d scanning, 3d printing, biology and de-sign, optimisation, biological metamorphosis

materials: strawberry, hot glue, water, iron wireabovethe photograph is the straw-berry process of the mould skin.

The aim of the project is to analyse the growth pattern of mold on the surfaces. Instead of the material used, the project focuses on logics of the algorithm and behaviour of the mould on the strawberry surfaces.

Bio-logical growth patterns resolve a number of structural systemsolutions, which enables us to improve the methodology, As a result, these systems mightachieve better results for the future.

this experiments observation finished in 4 days. it gave unexpected results for the thesis project. the existing structures grown spontaneously and this self-organising system works with perfect perfor-mance.

these result of the studies come with some sever-al questions.

Firstly, these photographs evidence that the moulds are visually beauty. However, bio-logical de-sign systems be assessed aesthetic vision for the per-cepciton of human.

Seconly, bacteria and mould might be unhealty for humanbeing. In these days, some chemical and bio-logical equipments can be solve these problems there-fore this situation should be assessed.

Thirdly, the control of the system is playing important role for the creating a new self-organising system. The university of Catalonia (Barcelona) and Massachusetts Instute of Technologies studies show that biological growth can be control with genetical-ly. If these systems can be control with genetically, self-organising systems allow to create space with-out a labor force in the future.

SKIN OF MOULD The experimental research skin of mould aims to show how biological structures physically create and how to show their aesthetically view.

There were several materials used for showing textural quality. On the other hand, This conceptual model was simulated like a biological shell. Following the creating conteptual model, the model results and data are analysed and optimised within three steps. The researches use 3d scanning machine, physical photography, and 3d modelling programmes, namely, autodesk 3ds max 2014.

This experimental research seeks to answer to the question of how biological living surfaces can be used for human clothes and accessiories.

There are a number of expects important to observe for the living-clothes. If bacteria and mould could be allow to use in the future, it might be create self-organise and self-repearing clothes andaccessiories. On the other hand, every clothes will have different identity and originality. there were following two steps for the analysing of theaesthetic view of the mouldy surface on the textile.

Firstly, the observing time saved with photography. the main aim of the observing photograph that shows the behaviour between mould and textile surface. It could be work with nano-technological studies as an interdisciplinary

Secondly, following the observing time, the experimental research reached the texture quality of the mould. this surfaces clearly show that, they could be beauty for the texture quality.

As a result, biological environment and bio-logical thinking could be helpful for the design methodology in the future. Instead of the mimical and logical(algorithm) using, human could use them in the daily life.

This experimental research aims to analyse how biological surface could be use or adaptate in existing or futuristic architectural design system.

Generally the part of the research analysed in two parts.

Firstly, the materials have choosen which is more useable for analysing, and then suitable environment created for research.

During the time the environment was observed, and keep some data with a number of photography.

Secondly, these photographs were deter-mined with adobe programmes and analysed with 3d computer visualisation programmes.

Following the determination and analysing, the data was presented with render images.

this research seek to determine the algorithm of the yogurt on the a number of different surfaces for observ-ing to the behaviour and growth of the mould.

This experimental research divides mainly in two fields. Firstly, the conceptu-al model prepeared and observed and pho-tographed during the growing time.

Following the growing of mould, the photographs collected and growth process analysed. And then the growth algorithm sequence adapted in process-ing(java).

Following the writing code in processing programme, how the research is focused the line controls with the growth.

As a result, if the growth controls with the line, it could be show a number of the drawing methods and in design methodologies.
