EcoTextile Morphologies
Type
In this design studio, we employed digital organic modeling techniques to investigate the possibility of understanding ecology as both system and formal device. The study began by documenting existing patterns of growth on the site along the Delaware River. These patterns were examined at a micro scale then abstracted to become systems of structure, circulation, and enclosure.
My design developed an organic language as a means for landscape and programmatic extension into the river - effectively a living/occupiable pier. The outer membrane of the structure was conceived as a geotextile which would use its transpirational properties to passively provide water and nutrients to the living exterior of the building.Regarding program, the living structure itself would provide enclosure for the housing units. This structure, due to its organic form and nature, yields spaces that respond carefully to the surrounding environment as well as their varied position within the larger structure. That is, like a plant, no two spaces can ever be exactly identical although each exists within the same larger organism/community.
