Entry Description

The work uses 3D printing to activate traditional Chinese culture to realize the synergistic design of structural properties generated by the 'Taihu Stone' and bi-directional evolutionary structural optimization algorithms, focusing on the complexity of virtual birth forms into the rationality of physical forms. This digital design practice learns from nature and derives its design biomorphic approach from natural systems to achieve the sustainable goal of living in symbiosis with nature.
