|-- Description
| `-- Self-built architecture configures itself without prior design,
| adapted to the many conditions that shape and create space. For this
| project, I idealize the current technology: the rapid development of
| new materials and the incorporation of dynamic qualities to them
| (adaptation to light and temperature, changes in texture, shape
| recovery ...) suggests me possible futures that we can already
| imagine. Beyond these technologies, On an Automatic Construction Fluid
| is a project that tries to approach the idea of fluid construction,
| through the use of materials yet to be invented. The resulting
| architecture is part of the world as a living being: subject to all
| laws of evolution of an ecosystem.
|
| This virtual prototype is tested in the desert, where the boundary
| conditions are minimized, but could be anywhere. The design is
| completely conceptual, bringing us to the experience, exploring the
| object that evolves, grows and changes shape. The hypothetical
| performance of the construction fluid is defined by two factors:
| a ferrofluid substrate and programmable particles that generate
| electromagnetic fields. The ferrofluid changes its properties by
| regions, at the programmed particles' will. Through these changes, the
| particles move, disperse or form clusters, using the fluid as a means
| of transport.
|
| This project tries to imagine a whole new world in architecture, where
| design is no mastered by architects, but constantly shaped as a living
| being by both its users and the environment -much more like in the
| origins-.
