The goal behind this project was to explore and develop systems that may be applicable to a variety of scales, beginning with small (product design) and ending with large (architectural). The world that is created through this application is one of a single evolved system that is represented in each design. This project’s focus was the creation of a species of items based upon the concept of evolution. As a tool for development, the flexibility and adaptability of muscular fibers were explored, and specific surface operations were designed for certain conditions. As a result, the system provides various structural and ornamental properties and differentiated use of materiality, depending of the evolved state each design is in. Each design required new functional and aesthetic capabilities, and therefore the system itself, consisting of the orginial research tools, continued to evolve through the design process.
