Aaron Lee-Looking Outwards-09

For this week’s looking outward post, I decided to find inspiration from CJ’s post on computational fabrication. Although I do not know CJ personally, this post about the design studio called Nervous System looked very interesting to me.

While generative design system is pretty much ubiquitous these days including architecture field, finding a form making specifically inspired by flowers was interesting to me. When I visited the studio’s website, I was drawn to their past project, especially the kinematic clothing.

Commissioned by the Museum of Fine Arts Boston, the project shows how digital fabrication is not limited to only certain field. The interconnected system of tessellated triangular panels adjusts accordingly to the user’s posture. Emerged from 3d printer fully assembled, the project perhaps shows the glimpse of next generation of customized production.
