Bioluminescent Pavilion: Temporary Architecture Provides Lighting
From Design Computation
DC I/O 2021 Paper by THEODORA FIAMEGKOU and THEODOROS DOUNAS.
Abstract
The present study will evolve around the design of a pavilion located at key points in the Aberdeen city. The structure will provide low intensity lighting using bioluminescent organisms on its inner and outer surface. For the creation of the design, computational design techniques will be employed, based on mesh sphere geometries, honeycomb patterns and organic forms of root system. By defining parameters and relations, we can design in a flexible environment that allows us to test several form options in a fraction of time compared to the traditional design approach.
