a team of four students: cosku cinkiliç, ahmed shokir, pavlina vardoulaki, houzhe xu in studio theodore spyropoulos assisted by mustafa el sayed developed an architectural system which is dynamic and can respond to changes through self-awareness, mobility, softness and reconfigurability.
HyperCell
is a system based on local decision making between each cell. The system creates continuous forming structures, never in finite form always in formation, changing consistently according to its population. Every individual cell can take its own decisions and has the ability to climb, roll and change its shape according to the system’s needs. Our system will exhibit methods of self-assembly where a number of cells are able to come together without predefined instructions to create meaningful structures. Computational and physical strategies of self-assembly were developed which demonstrate the ability of the single cell and the collective. The system is able to show mobility in two scales, local and global. As an outcome the structure will constantly reconfigure. Through local decision making the system will consciously create space.
