Bridging Synthetic and Organic Materiality: Gradient Transitions in Material Connections
Abstract
The recent movement from mass production to mass customization enabled by digital fabrication has opened the door for new typologies in architecture and design. The author brought the idea of mass customization to material connection, which normally appears as orthogonal seams that are predominant in man-made objects. This chapter introduces gradient material transitions that seamlessly bridge synthetic and organic matter. Using digital image processing of organic forms, the fabrication process generates 3D tooling paths, culminating in the concept of ‘bio customization’ rather than mass customization, a new prospect of digital fabrication.
