開催概要

多様な建築形態を実現するために、必ずしも複雑なハイテク技術が必要とは限らない。自然界で見られるような単一要素の組み合わせが持つ多様性を、建築システムに取り入れようというアイディアコンペ。素材の選択は自由、入賞するとプロトタイプをつくってもらえる。

Description
The design of a material system that is in exchange with is context-specific environment and that, in doing so, can fulfil functional and performative requirements.
Materials can display varied characteristics without change to their chemical makeup. The difference then emanates from its structure. Nature demonstrates masterfully how one and the same material can be structured differently due to changing conditions and requirements. The performance of natural systems is based on such structural differentiation.
A first premise lies in the question of the right scale that enables accomplishing spatial organisation, material self-organisation, as well as load-bearing and microclimatic modulation capacities to be developed from structural differentiation. When considering the scalar spectrum, ranging from the macro-scale of a building to the micro-scale of the molecular composure of a material, it becomes clear that material systems constitute an intermediary or meso-scale.
A second premise lays in the development of a systematic approach. What is at stake here are not only materials per se, but rather the material and the constructive, as well as material and structural characteristics that arise from an exchange with a specific environment.
A third premise lays in the choice of tools, which allow for the differentiation of structures in the design process and also deliver a link to manufacturing, is crucial.
