Description
Summary:The project aims to design a regenerative and resilient space centre for urban environments. It explores the concept of architecture as a responsive machine, adapting to urban, socio-economic and environmental dynamics. Drawing inspiration from natural systems, the project involves creating three-dimensional prototypes to analyse ecological infrastructure. In a unique approach, the exploration extends to developing chain prototypes inspired by the collaborative and efficient behaviours observed in weaver ants, further enriching the project's understanding of interconnected ecological systems. These assemblies contribute to the development of a new architectural paradigm that dynamically responds to the ever-changing environment. The envisioned space centre, with its human-centric design, sustainable features, and adaptable technology, becomes a transformative hub within the urban landscape. It is poised to integrate new space exploration technologies, adjust to changes, and symbolise a progressive step towards emergent ecological morphology in architecture.
