One of Sean Ahlquist’s doctoral works that used Java based framework showing mutli-layer membrane systems.

This piece is one of many pieces in Sean Ahlqiust’s “Textile Morphologies.” Sean Ahlqiust did the scientific research while there were many collaborators for the design of the project, using Javascript and 3D printing. Among all the different computational fabrication projects, this one stuck out to me the most because it fuses design, science, and coding. I like this one specifically in the “Textile Morphologies” because it reminded me of the DNA molecules I learned in high school. I thought this piece focused on creating a relationship between all viewers and biology by showing wires connecting these “membranes” together. Using all his scientific research, Ahlqiust was able to approach all people with different skills/knowledge.
