Evolution, the latest addition to the Bowery, is not just a library, but more so a center to expand the mind and network information. The exclusive collection documents New York’s morphosis in becoming what is believed to be the capital of the world. read more

The intelligence embedded within the geometry and material of the skin will allow it to thermally control the atmosphere of both the interior and exterior of the building. Aligned with capacitance sensors, the larger units absorb, retain, and then distribute heat evenly throughout the spaces. The design of the skin is interrelated to the program. Select cells diffuse light in hypersensitive areas and evolve into subtle photovoltaic cells which convert solar energy into electricity. read more

The skin of the library will embody structure, circulation, and filtration of natural resources. The 45-degree slope directs natural light as it changes throughout the day. As the skin evolves, the program of the library will expand, creating unique spacial qualities between each diamond.

The simple geometry of a diamond within a square, embedded in Gold, indicates the growth pattern of the mineral. Preliminarily, the different tiling systems developed were highly dependent on the connection of the diamond, thus generating a secondary geometry system. read more

The body casing of the American Alligator is made up of scales. As they grow, alligators lose individual scutes, which are replaced. Along the back of the gator, there are bony deposits within the individual scales, called osteoderms. Apart from providing increased protection, these particular scutes also have a complex body supply, enabling that transference to take place. read more

Gold molecules mimic a superlattice formation creating a tetragonal shape. In this structure the superlattice environment induces an enhanced degree of preferential arrangement of the dodecane thiols into “antiparallel” bundles oriented along the direction which interlock to form the ordered superlattice. The dimensions of the axes of the superlattice correspond approximately to the length and twice the width of the bundled passivated cluster, respectively. read more
