ABSTRACT

Cells are the basic elements of all systems in living nature. The process of cellular differentiation underlies most natural systems’ capacity for functional integration and adaptation. In the Emergent Technologies and Design programme multifaceted cell research has been conducted over a number of years, ranging from in-depth investigations in the field of cellular solids to the development of cell-based pneumatic structures. In the following paragraphs two exemplary research projects will be explained. The illustrations shows six steps of the algorithmically driven generation of honeycomb cells on a double-curved surface.
