Abstract In response to Indonesia challenges, of relocating its capital from Jakarta, we unveil Nusantara, a visionary urban project nestled in the Borneo jungle. Promising a harmonious blend of nature and technology, Nusantara offers sustainable living, AI-driven experiences, and cultural richness. However, beneath its shimmering facade lies a deeper irony. While Nusantara symbolizes progress, it … Read more
In the year 2044, escalating city taxes have rendered travel to major urban centers unattainable for many, ushering in a period of decline for once-thriving cities. However, Rome emerges as a beacon of innovation, reversing its tax policies and spearheading the transformative “La Bolla” project. Through this initiative, Rome reclaims its status as a vibrant … Read more

Crystallization is a process responsible for the formation of solid structures, wherein constituent atoms or molecules are systematically arranged into a highly organized lattice, constituting a crystal. This phenomenon can occur through various mechanisms, including precipitation from a supersaturated solution, solidification from a liquid state, and, less commonly, direct sublimation from a gaseous phase. The characteristics … Read more

Non planar 3D printing cork based biomaterial CORK.CATENATION employs the novel methodology of non-planar 3d printing using Cork as the bio-material. The final outcome is a connection of interconnected lattice structures- broken down into modules that can be assembled to form a building skin that can morph according to the surface topology and solar radiation results.
This project explores the application of swarm intelligence in simulating fish behavior evading predators. Utilizing computational algorithms inspired by natural swarms, the simulation aims to mimic the collective movement patterns of fish, optimizing their escape routes. By implementing principles such as repulsion, alignment, and cohesion, the model simulates the coordinated response of a fish swarm … Read more
Introduction to Neumatic Colloids Nematic colloids are materials with perpendicular surface anchoring embedded in planar nematic liquid crystal (NLC) cells. Topological defects, such as point defects and disclination lines, are a necessary consequence of broken symmetry in the system. In nematic liquid crystals (NLCs), defects manifest as isolated points and disclination lines, which can form … Read more
Concept We aim to design an environmental responsive facade that provides shelter for users in public spaces. Our facade aims to explore different materials that will behave differently based on the sensory information that the weather conditions of the city or location provide. It will be reacting to local light, rain, temperature and weight levels, … Read more

A phenomenon in which self-propelled individuals, using only limited environmental information and simple rules, organize into an ordered motion. This ordering even occurs at two dimensions where ordering is not possible equilibrium systems. Boid Movement Different Behaviors Alignment Behavior Alignment ensures that individual agents within a flock move in a consistent direction, fostering cohesive group … Read more
Fractal growth refers to the development or expansion of structures or patterns in a way that exhibits self-similarity at various scales. Fractals are often characterized by intricate and complex shapes that can be created through iterative processes for efficiency and structurability. Fractal patterns assist us with research into climate change, trajectory of meteoroids, cancer research … Read more
Our journey to craft a thoughtfully designed structure for the STORE x STORE garage transformation began with two distinct timber frameworks, each built around a trio of trusses. Structure A started as a straightforward, three-truss framework, embodying simplicity. In contrast, Structure B ventured into more complex territory, presenting a three-dimensional, intricate timber assembly. Throughout this … Read more
