Being an Architecture major, we discuss parametric design and digital fabrication quite often because it is the most groundbreaking technology in the field. Earlier this year we were introduced to a project done by a professor and group of researchers at MIT. I especially appreciate this project because it not only uses the most recent technology in parametric design and digital fabrication, but it uses a natural precedent to inform the structure of the weave for the panels. Using data collected by the research done on the silkworms, the CNC machine was programmed to weave a unique pattern on each panel that created a pavillion with ample lighting and enclosure.
