In traditional architectural design, there is often an irreconcilable tension between natural growth patterns and human creativity. This “conflict” manifests in the challenge of finding a resonance between the diverse structures of nature’s plants and the intricate design of spider webs.
Our team digitally synthesizes distinctly shaped plants into models and then employs artificial intelligence as a “spider architect” to weave 15 unique spider webs on these models. By integrating these webs into a complex spatial system constructed from suspended acrylic panels, we organically blend natural elements with human imagination, thereby resolving the tension between conventional design and natural ecology.
This project aims to blend biology, design, and art to create spatial structural air webs that transcend traditional artistic mediums, fostering creativity and ecological awareness. The objectives include identifying and cataloging plant structures, generating prototypes through 3D printing, integrating plant frames with spiders to create webs, analyzing and synthesizing web variations, developing 15 structural morphemes, and weaving them into an intricate spatial air web that reflects the connection between nature and artificial creation.
