Attawit Sotyom_Polymorphism

Polymorphism ; Natural morphogenesis generates "Polymorphic Systems" that obtain their complex organisation and shape from the interaction of system-intrinsic material capacities and external environmental influences and forces. The resulting, continuously changing, complex structures are hierachical arrangements of relative simple material components organnise through successive series of propagated and differentiated subassemblies from which the system's performative abilities emerge. Morphogenesis is that formation and materialization processes are always inherently and inseparably related.

Sample of Polymorphism designs.

Differential Surface Actuation: Metapath Project
This experiment was driven by the hypothesis that the material capacity of a system consisting of uniform elements. A series of very simple rectangular wooden elements were attached to a large patch by four bolts with the different orientations. This data enabled scripting of the parametric definition for a large prototype construction.

Generative Algorithmic Definition: Homeycomb Morphologies
The focus in this project is to algorithmically generate a coherent honeycomb system able to colonise variable geometric envelopes within the limits if fabrication. Honeycomb prototype in which each cell is unique in shape, size and depth, allowing for changing cell densities.
