Snooks article, ‘Self Organised Bodies’, explores the concepts
“Woven Composites” and “Swarm Matter”.
Woven Composites: This
concept revolves around the idea of complex topology, linking objects or
materials together to create a woven structure. This was created by a
multi-agent algorithm to generate these kinds of topology. This is shown as an
example through the evolution of surfaces from being a uniform or consistent
structure to be a combination of different objects to create a surface.
Swarm Matter: This
concept relates to the creation and development of ornaments, it explores the
relationship between components, surfaces and lines. Snook claims “while there
is no hierarchies encoded into the can be extracted that through ornamental
design and the application of complex geometries, there is a hierarchy that
develops through the deliberation of the design”.
Furthermore, in Picon’s ‘The Surface as Architecture’, he
discusses the idea of hypersurfaces and how it allows a bridge to be created
between an architectural surface and cyberspace. Picon explains the variety of
hypersurfaces, comparing them to different cultural factors such as clothing
fashion.
Both Picon and Snooks view surfaces as a design feature or
element that creates unique spaces and gives a structure a complete form as
well as representing a place, depending on the intention of its placement and
design.
