SUMMARY:Biodynamic Structures
DESCRIPTION:BIODYNAMIC STRUCTURES\nAA Visiting School @ CCA California
  College of the Art\nMonday 12 to Wednesday 21 July, 2010\n\nBiodynami
 cs is the study of the force and energy of dynamic processes on living
  organisms. Through simple mechanisms embedded within the material log
 ic of natural systems, specific stimuli can activate a particular resp
 onse. This response occurs in carnivorous plants such as the Venus fly
 -trap, which uses turgor pressure to trap small insects in order to fe
 ed, and worms, which by contracting differently oriented muscles, achi
 eve movement. This ten-day intensive workshop, co-taught by the facult
 y of the Emergent Technologies and Design Programme at the AA and the 
 faculty of Architecture and MEDIAlab at California College of the Arts
 , will explore active systems in nature, investigating biomimetic prin
 ciples in order to analyze, design and fabricate prototypes that respo
 nd to electronic and environmental stimuli. Students will work in team
 s to research specific biological systems, extracting logics of organi
 zation, geometry, structure and mathematics. Advanced analysis, simula
 tion, modeling and fabrication tools will be introduced in order to ap
 ply this information to the design of both passive and active responsi
 ve architectural systems. Investigation and application of robotics, s
 ensors and actuators will be employed for the activation of the materi
 al system investigation through the construction of working responsive
  prototypes.\n\n+ CONTENT TAGS: Biodynamic, Parametric, Scripted, Mime
