Pluripotent Design Strategies explore the
ability of parametric software to generate open-ended models, which can
be
refined across scale, nonlinearly and multi-directionally to achieve
more
adaptive and organically integrative design solutions. By referencing
pluripotency in cells, which “have more than one potential outcome” this
approach aims to develop models with the capacity to transform
structurally and
materially without being altered in their fundamental organization.
Through the
application of switches, thresholds and scalar shifts the parametric
models act
as micro-environments serving simultaneously as continually updating
templates
as well as finalized proposals.
