Seascape Prototype #1, Verena Vogler from Verena Vogler.
Some of the main challenges that our
civilization is facing are related to environmental depletion and the
restoration of damaged habitats. Can we slow down the Global Coral Crisis? Coral
Reefs in coastal areas have been depleted by human action, endangering
vulnerable coastlines and habitats.
Seascape Prototype #1 is an underwater experiment
about Computational Design and Ecological Manufacturing. It is a story of
creation in one of Earth's most challenging environments: the ocean, where local
natural material and energy resources occur in abundance, ready to be used for
a novel way of creating. A solid self-replicating, self-repairing
and self-sustaining underwater structure is produced taking advantage of the
mineral accretion process.
An
innovative way of creating: This experiment related to Computer-based Ecological
Manufacturing will be the base to propose and develop further sets of
computational design and fabrication strategies inspired by natural reef
formations with the focus on the integration of form, material and process. Rhino is a powerful tool to incorporate physical form-finding procedures as
computer-based analysis, simulation, scanning and production to further explore
how process and material can generate a design form.
