intro’d to Neri via listening in on mit talks..
her talk of architecture.. resonating with self-organizing ness
_______
her 2015 ted talk:
Design at the intersection of technology and biology
2 twin domes – one made of 1000s of steal parts.. the other of a single silk thread.. one imposed on environment.. the other creates it.. one designed for nature.. the other by it… living things are not chiseled.. they grow
in our cells.. we carry all the information that’s required for every other cell to function/replicate
one ness
assembly lines have dictated a world made of parts…
you don’t find homogeneous material assemblies in nature.. ie: human skin
my work – about uniting these 2 world views.. chisel/gene.. away from assembly and closer to growth
emergence ness
6 min – is nature ideal.. are there no parts in nature? – whole tree was a fruit
structures from beam to mesh
12 min – what if we could create structures that would augment living matter… scan skin.. repair damaged tissues… to move away from that age of the machine.. to symbiosis.. return back to nature… 13 min – ie: sophistication of silk worm
tension and compreshion the two forces of life
bucky – the tension is the great integrity
material ecology.. new age of design that takes us from nature inspired desigin to design inspired nature.. that demands of us for the first time that we mother ..nature
perhaps let’s do this first: free art ists
