Unseen Current is a navigable billow of fog flowing through Extension Gallery. Three thousand hanging strings or “catenaries” totaling 10 miles in length span between the walls of the gallery in precise arrangements. From a distance, this three dimensional array of catenaries suggests a surface or volume; upon moving to its center, it evokes a rolling fog. To this end, custom software was developed to explore the form of (and generate the plans for) the project. Like a pointillist painting in space inspired by the smoggy sky of Los Angeles, the color of the installation gradates from a rich orange to sky blue. read more

Elena Manferdini’s installation explores the intricacies of lace at a scale far beyond the intimate size commonly associated with the material. Made by the knotting and intertwining of multiple threads, the dynamic dance of lacemaking is brought to the scale of the SCI-Arc Gallery. The antique Venetian Merletti, the Italian term for lace, are the crenellations that create a complex interface at the top of defensive buildings. read more

Students at the University of Technology in Sydney collaborated with famed architect Chris Bosse on this pretty “digital origami” exhibit featuring 3,500 recycled cardboard “molecules.” To create this dynamic walk-through exhibit, 25 masters students in the digital architecture program got to freely explore their conceptions of Cartesian space and interpret them using many many repetitive shapes–there are actually only two different ones used in the entire display. via wiredread more

Inspired by the cellular morphology of the wing of an insect, DRAGONFLY is a highly irregular grid-shell that cantilevers 35ft (10m) from its supports. Both the overall form and the patterning of tessellations were developed through an adaptive approach that looked for emergent force path and deformation characteristics.
