ABSTRACT

Its surface seems slick, perhaps reflective, often translucent, skin-like, visually viscous; its form appears curved, ballooned, bulging, segmental, warped, and twisted; its structure looks webbed, ribbed, and vaulted; its materials might be synthetic, resinous, metallic, and alloyed; its interior would be cave-like, womb-like, tunneled, burrowed, and furrowed; its furniture and fittings are envisaged as soft, almost porous in texture, cast or injected, molded, and sensitive to heat and light… . The techniques of its design are drawn … from animation software that generates its complex forms with the help of digital avatars that work, independently of the architect, to produce multiple iterations of possible combinations. 1
