Jessica Rosenkrantz and Jesse Louis-Rosenberg are the founders of N.E.R.V.O.U.S System Lab. They focused on a broad range of digital fabrication technique that engages computational design. Their design were strongly influenced and inspired by natural phenomena such as growing, florescence and other organic form. By incorporate generative thinking of these natural patterns and extract them into computational logic, they transfer the form into a wide range of design such as fashion garments, jewelries housewares and furnitures. One of their project studies the growing patterns of plants. They abstract these growing and categorize them into several directions for study such as “growing points”, “expanding lines” and “edge growing”. And by studying these discrete differential geometry, mass customization, differential growth, they form their unique design language and workflow. What I admire about their work is they reinterpret the organic and natural growing process and apply computational logic to them.
