Contemporary architects are judged as much by their buildings as they are by the sophistication of the techniques used in design and construction. A certain fascination with technology is natural ...
Genomic architecture is based on the manipulation of the architectural genome. Like its biological counterpart, this genome is universal and encompasses all architecture — past, present and future. ...Shrink Wrap Space Suit
Dava Newman and her associates at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) are designing a new Bio-Suit System for astronauts, which would incorporate life support systems into a electrospinlaced inner suit, making the suit a 2nd skin. The electrospinlacing technique, developed by the US army is a method of spray-on fabric which creates a more flexible and lightweight skin. The suit also incorporates ‘muscle wire‘ technology which could compliment one’s movement, essentially giving the the body extra strength. The MIT group is also looking into other remarkable skin technologies such as chameleon skins, morphing polymers, renewable energy skin, micro-actuator embedded skin . . .
