Automorphic City Synthesis of Sense and Form: Organicism ADV VI - Spring 2020 - Professor: David Benjamin & Alexander V. Odom Mass timber construction is on the rise and is a promising part of a climate change solution. With the revolutionary resurgence of this very traditional building material, how will our spatial interface and therefore, lifestyles, change? The Automorphic City signals a new sustainable architecture and acknowledges the city’s paradoxically transformative and conservationist motives by assuming a neo-metabolist movement that is more flexible and even more modular, consisting of self-shaped timber components. This construction constitutes a paradigm shift in timber manufacturing from elaborate and energy-intensive mechanical forming processes that require heavy machinery to a process where the material shapes itself entirely.

mo du- struct u re s mega-modu-structure The mega-modules are made from Beech, a hardwood with a compressive strength of 7,300psi that will withstand the axial loads.

The mega-modules have a structural thickness of 8 inches and consists of 6 bilayers.

The grain of the wood is vertical and perpendicular to the horizontal lateral and shear force that would act on the structure.

Beech also bends better than Spruce and will be able to form itself into the curvature required for the core system.

The Newburgh Mycoresiliency Foundation is a research and production centre that is set with the goal of tackling the local land contamination and food desert issue in Newburgh and the global issue of synthetic preservative use as well as other environmentally harmful artificial methods.

The foundation does this with through the employment of mycelial probing (into nearby Superfund and Brownfield sites) and the development of mycofiltration and mycoremediation among other mushroom based techniques. This is in addition to the more focused exploration and extraction of mushrooms, investigating fibers such as Chitosan that is said to be effective as a natural preservative and against a broad spectrum of microorganisms.

The Northern Arapaho Twin Embassy is a platform of sovereign visibility and a channel for political and cultural exchange for the Northern Arapaho tribe. The meiosis of the embassy across both Wyoming and D.C. facilitates a network for tribe engagement in statewide and nationwide politics as well as in a post-commodity initiative in retrieving Arapaho artifacts and preserving the Arapaho spoken language, developing a cycle of reciprocity between each component of the embassy and its host nation. With minimal intrusion into the earth, the conical forms beacon the permanence and resilience of the tribe while the flexible space-frame that encompasses it rises above the cartesian imposition and definition of space that has previously colonised native land. The space-frame is used to support more temporary as well as permanent developments to the embassy made by the tribe for seasonal, ceremonial, cultural and political events.

Bronx Housing for Community Resiliency strengthens the resiliency of the community, empowering them through the act of physically and culturally multiplying the ground, providing public accessibility through public veins and enabling them with the support of various facilities that follow programmatic synergy. The project provides the community with opportunities for social and educational exchange. The transition from the contextually sculpted groundscape, to the community reinforcing public programs, to the public veins that interweave community and resident circulations by a series of connected public zones, and finally to the nooks that intimately connect two apartments or more towards each other and cultivate multi-generational and multi-cultural relationships, offers a gradient of publicly proactive space.

The Library for Modern Empowerment (LIB4ME) addresses technological illiteracy by re-centering manual practice and learning through tactile fundamentals. This operation is housed in the centrally positioned ‘breaker space’ that is supplemented by surrounding maker spaces and research stations. The library acts as an archive and recycling ground of old and new physical technological components accepting donations from all members of the public while offering them the facilities to disassemble and break apart e-waste safely and with the support of the librarians whose roles are redefined to take the form of anything from an electrical engineer to a material specialist. It takes a political stance by establishing a platform for the public to reveal the hidden in technology and to control the state of the library’s envelope - the critical political barrier of the building - reinforcing their agency and control.

The Studio Tree is a system that facilitates the structuring of the studio’s communal workspace into cycles of productive work and holistic mind and body exercises. These cycles follow divergent and convergent thinking approaches that foster a creative, productive and healthy studio environment. Using a webcam, Processing, computer vision and fiducial markers, the system detects and measures the usage of the shared workspace under the three primary categories of physical modelling, sketching and computing, and times the sessions and makes note of daily collective, individual and linked trends of usage.

Assimilate:Dissimilate is an exploration of perceptual and visual adaptation by introducing a new system of movement and perception in a virtual environment The player is immersed in a new world of perceptual interaction and is prompted to navigate through a growing white frame. Each movement either alters the depth of field or the horizon line placing the player in a flux of perceptual assimilation and dissimilation. The project was completed in Unity with C#.

The mechanical stamps were made using an impression machine that is worn like a backpack and translates movement directly and mechanically. Two handheld bars pull on a stamp block suspended by two strings that are chanelled through hooks atop two arms.

The stamp is contained within two wooden faces and draws gestures with its two-axis movement.

Using Grasshopper and Firefly, a vector field was programmed to map pixel movement as deviation and turbulence.

Using a webcam and a bitmap sampler to translate moving image into visual data with the extent of deviation shown on the left margin, a recomposition of movement and gesture is produced.

A real-time interactive simulation made using Processing with Java that reveals portions of the plan based on passerby focus loci. Using a footfall study that observed three main trajectories through the space, probabilities were calculated and used to determine the instantiation of the simulated agents walking through the space. This script allowed the user to hover the mouse to reveal portions of the drawing, breaking the fourth wall (or third in this case.) The script was made using PVectors, Arraylists, Mouse_ functions and pixel manipulation.

An exploration of re-using a ubiquitous waste material - plastic bags - as plastic surface. Using Grasshopper, Processing and the UR3 robot, a script was programmed to heat crimpt a pattern into standardly dimensioned plastic bag samples.

The heat crimper attachment was designed and 3D printed to fit an existing gripper attachment. A hair crimper was taken apart and reappropriated / rehoused with its circuitry into the 3D printed element. The pattern was designed using Grasshopper and precautions to avoid collision were scripted in.
