generative design & parametric architecture by christoph hermann
SALONE DI MOBILE Ross Lovegrove
Finally after almost two years of exciting, destroying, crying, laughing times working at Lovegrove Studio ..first projects will be finished and exhibited at the Salone the mobile Milan. Works will include various lighting for Artemide and a stunning installation at the Triennale Milan from 17th of April till the 22nd of April. The installation will [...]
PROTO TOWERS
GENERATIVE DESIGN: The task is to focus on the design of inherently adaptive generative designs that intelligently vary general topological schemata across a wide range of parametrically specifiable site-conditions and briefs. These generative designs can be compared to the small number of fundamental body plans that underlie the inexhaustibly variegated manifold of species that evolved – [...]
BAROTIC INTERIORS I
EMERGENT DESIGN 2 : The model of present interior spaces – being a collage of simple and unrelated elements, cannot compete with their historical counterparts in terms of their richness,coherency and precision of formal organization. These emergent design interiors create a high level of qualitative differentiation and intensity in respect to the part to part [...]

SIGMUND FREUD PAVILION
PARAMETRIC ARCHITECTURE : The Sigmund Freud Park located in the very center of Vienna operates as the regions main recreation area. Therefore the site conjures the common architectural dilemma of how to amalgamate the antagonizing spatial qualities of the proposed pavilion with those of an unobstructed open space. The project´s attempt is an architectural assembly [...]
BRIT DESIGN AWARD ross lovegrove
BRITISH DESIGN AWARDS : Bioengineering, speculation and anticipatory design converge to challenge the basis of industry. The silent growth of a cell phone from a genetically modified plant that turns nutrients into cells and cells into biologically formed devices. Beetles with golden shells, insects in the shape of leaves….adaptation to context. We are gripped by [...]
MUTANT MUSEUM
GROWTH : Current non growth paramteric architectural approaches succeed in conceiving coherent structures through different operations of morphology. However through the gradual change of single components space loses the variety of sensations. New approaches using growth and evolution as technique offer the advantage of pertaining the legibility of particular areas with their specific characteristics, sensations, spontaneity, [...]
COMPRESSED COMPLEXITY
ANIMATED FORM : The non parametric model of the present mixed-use high-rise-situation – being a series of stacked plates on top of the other – lacks an appropriate interaction amongst the different programs. Animated Form trying to bring the features of the horizontal CITY model into the VERTICALITY of the high-rise it would gain virtues [...]
LOW HIGHRISE
AMBIGUOUS GESTALT : In an urban context centers are emphasized through iconic buildings. An iconic building is created through differentiating its appearance to the utmost from the context – be it in shape, height, color etc. Considering the present development of Dubai one can clearly see the tendency of creating buildings which compete with each other [...]
