Reflexive Architecture machine





REFLEXIVE ARCHITECTURE MACHINE by University of Buffalo and AA London .

HINT: Arch. that transform itself in responses to changes in its environment.

"It re-imagines how we shape and assemble conventional materials, like rubber, plastic, and wood through a combination of material and computational processes to develop more complex relations between parts and wholes. This fundamentally challenges the static nature of conventional building materials and sensitizes them to the ephemeral and dynamic qualities of environmental conditions like heat, moisture, air chemistry and gravity."*

*from the the Center for Architecture and Situated Technologies at the School of Architecture and Urban Planning.
