Artificial Floating Forest

Artificial Floating Forest

In the distant future, humanity had managed to merge technology and nature seamlessly, creating a world where the two were no longer at odds but in harmony. In this new world, humans had designed incredible structures that mimicked the natural world, creating a new form of architecture that was both beautiful and sustainable. One of the most stunning examples of this new architecture was the floating forest in the clouds. The forest was made up of a series of interconnected structures that resembled floating trees, complete with artificial photosynthetic foliage. The structures were anchored to the clouds by a network of cables, allowing them to sway gently in the breeze.

Artificial Nature Sustainable Construction

Artificial Nature Sustainable Construction

We research and study the different aspects of sustainable construction. Learned about the capture and retention of moisture, maximizing surface area for growth, and self-shading to accelerate the bio-colonization of photosynthetic consortiums on building surfaces. With this knowledge, we began to explore form-finding techniques that could incorporate these essential elements into her project. Experimented with various designs, using biomimicry to create moisture transport systems and maximize surface area while maintaining structural integrity. We also created self-shading systems that would block direct sunlight and promote the growth of photosynthetic organisms on building surfaces.

Growing Artificial Nature

Growing Artificial Nature

Using mycelium to create artificial nature architecture integrates natural elements into construction. Mycelium, the root structure of fungi, can be used to create strong and durable building materials that are also sustainable and biodegradable. The project aims to develop a prototype structure that demonstrates the viability of this approach and showcases the unique properties of mycelium-based materials.

Artificial Nature : Deconstruction

Artificial Nature : Deconstruction

Deconstruction challenges the traditional approach to construction by emphasizing the disassembly of buildings rather than their construction.

Nature Deconstruction

Nature Deconstruction

The project explores deconstruction as a new form inspired by nature. The building is composed of modular pieces that can be assembled and disassembled, allowing for a variety of different configurations. The exterior is composed of a series of overlapping triangles, which references the shape of a tree's canopy.
