Description: Inspired by cell division, Michael Hansmeyer writes algorithms that design outrageously fascinating shapes and forms with millions of facets. No person could draft them by hand, but they're buildable -- and they could revolutionize the way we think of architectural form.

Michael Hansmeyer: Building unimaginable shapes

Building unimaginable shapes

Exploring the intersection of architecture and nature, the journey begins with a cube, evolving through folds into complex structures.

Exploring architectural potential through algorithms, creating structures from folding processes inspired by cellular division.

Harnessing computational power transforms virtual intricate designs into physical, complex architectural forms and structures.
