gyueunp – Looking Outwards 03

Woven Composites was a speculative research that was carried out from 2010 to 2012 by the design director Roland Snooks and the project team of Adrian Cortez, Michael Ferreyra, and Michael Murdock. The research consisted of experiments that provided insight into woven tectonics, which were generated through agentBody algorithms. Woven Composites is an ongoing research that attempts to study “the behavior of components or bodies which have architectural behavior encoded at a sub-agent level.” As the title of the research suggests, the works are composed of what seems to be a complex structure of interwoven elements. The creation of such intricate, plant-like structures that was possible through the process of computational digital fabrication is the most intriguing aspect of this research.
