BioDesign #3by Dennis DollensBioDesign #3 is the iPhone/iTouch edition of Architecture & Biomimetics #3: A Pangolins Guide to Bio-Digital Movement in Architecture (ISBN: 978-0-930829-12-4).From ongoing experiments with bio-generative software, this comic book graphically explores design and digital nature through forms and structures derived from plant simulations: e-trees, branches, leaves, and flowers. BioDesign #3 illustrates works generated with Xfrog using biologically and environmentally derived information while also considering ways to infuse botanic attributes into structures, stl models, hybridized technologies, and materials while keeping in mind performance goals such as shape-shifting aerodynamics, passive air filtration, temperature and pollution control. The comics drawings are rendered from the projects CAD files to visualize and hypothesize ways for digitally growingsimulatingbio-design and bio-evolved forms with sensors and actuators for hybridized urban structures.These new structures and the comic book are the work of Dennis Dollens, a professor of architecture in the Genetic Architectures and BioDigital master program at the Universitat International de Catalunya, Barcelona. The comic book is a companion to his recent book, D-BA2: Digital-Botanic Architecture II.******************************************* Produced by Alvercom Publishing* www.alvercom.com publish your book on iPhone.* Any issues or enquiries contact us at enquiries@alvercom.com
