INSPIRATION

Inspiration begins from nature. The intricate details that lie hidden in minute forms hold the key to successful execution of many useful properties. The processes that take place to form these nano structures is the most intriguing factor; neither can it be deduced nor can it be predicted.

Exploration

The process of ideation involves both cognitive and expressive interpretations. This helps to identify the underlying design principles, caliberate a prototype and illustrate . Vast amount of digging and exploring is the key to a successful outcome. These tech-niques ensure that multiple pathways would lead to a better understanding of what forms I can work with and why. The question why is as important as the end result.

Design work flow

Explore different ideas in order to find specific/ tar-get keys that is inspirational

Understanding to how these processes work and why they are of value

Choosing an idea to refine even more, start to build pro-totypes in order to under-stand perceptions and forms

Grasping the favourite con-cepts and their effect on na-ture, identify key steps that makes the object why it is

Refine the ideas and find suitable and sufficient answers to why the patterns are the way they are

State of mind should be filled with different concepts of patterns and ready to choose

Processes & Nature

Nature is filled with awe and inspiration. THe self organizing skill of the remark-able system inspires me to fully indulge in the information provided by na-ture. These traits can be seen as adaptability skills in order to ensure that the species survival is carried on. There are two types of natural processes.

Biomimicry Natural forms

The context of Biomimicry is to extract information from natural designs and implementing them to solve human challenges. Biomimicry is a leading field that demonstrates nature at its finest work.

Nature provides us with various complex de-signs that hides constructive meanings. These ideas are sometimes taken by architects or designers to design bjects and structures.

IDEATION Based on Natural Forms

Ideation is unique to the person who seeks it. Nature is filled with complex and extraordinary systems. The following ideas are chosen samples of won-

dorous patterns that appear continuosly.

The Spider-web concept is one of nature’s wonder. The spe-cial silk that spiders produce and weave them in the direc-tion facing South only adds to the mystery of this spectecular phenomenon. Simple yet com-plex, Simple yet complex, the silk woven by the spider is stronger than steel and lighter than fibre. Humans’ are yet to recreate this

special strand of amino acids.

The Human brain is a miraculous or-gan. The organ stores the information percieved by the person along with all the actions and systematic information to function in daily life. All these actions and remembrance are made by tiny neurons firing up when needed. Under a MRI machine, the magic is unvieled. Emotions, feelings and other activities are seen patterning in different forms depending on the strongness or prob-

lematic areas.

Fungis, Bacterias & Viruses are nano micro-organisms that have aston-ishing forms. Usually, Bacteria and Fungi are found in colonies rather than the Virus who tend to maneu-ver on their own. When colonies are zoomed in, it’s like stepping into another reality. These organ-isms work in various ways, repro-duces asexually and sexually and when met with a neighbouring col-ony they tend to be non hostile or hostile depending on the type they run into. The shapes, patterns and colors of these colonies is simply

breath taking.

IDEATION Based on Biomimicry

The Lotus leaf is a very good example of a self cleaning system. It is free of con-taminants by possessing small bumps on the surface as a coating that ena-bles water to slide past it while carry-ing any dirt that lies on top of the leaf. This idea has been applied by the Wil-helm Barthlott in an exterior paint that has the same effect as the lotus leaf.

The Box- fish Also known as ostracion cu-bicus has the ability to swim very fast despite its box shape and size. By tak-ing its low co-efficient of drag and rigid exo skeleton, Mercedes Benz engineers came up with a concept for their new car with the same shape like structure as the box fish that proved to have one of the lowest co-efficient of drag ever tested.

Surprisingly, the Peacock feather has only one pigment (brown) but man-ages to bring out exotic colors. This ef-fect is brought on by capturing light within its layering of keratin proteins combined with melanin background that causes the light to bounce off and ‘producing’ the color. A Japanese company got inspired by this trait and created a reusable display sign that alters through contact with UV light.

Aspergillus

Aspergillus is a mold speces found in various places around the world. It was named after holy water sprinkler due to the similar shapy by Biologist Pier Antonio Micheli. Some species of Aspergillus is imported for medical and commercial purposes. Some of the asperlligus species are pathogens causing infection to people and ani-mals. Microbial fermentations use a species of aspergil-lus to make alcoholic beverages like Japanese sake. A type of the species, Aspergillus niger is used for the production of native and foreign en-zymes, including glucose oxidase and lysozome.

Culture Growth

The growth traits of Aspergillus was observed to have Thermotolerence which means they are able to thrive at less than or equal to 37 degrees celsius. Their germination & growth efficiency seems to peak at this temperature. They also have the ability to sense and utilize nutrients from various sources. This is known as Nutritional versatility. The form of growth adopted by these organisms is known as Radi-al Growth. This form of growth be-gins from the centre and expands radially while forming colonies.

The following graph shows the correlation of three different spe-cies A. Fumigatus, A. Flavus and A. Niger. They all seem to have a higher gernination rate from the beginning. Below the graphs show the growth rate of the three different species in two dif-ferent temperature conditions.

Page 11: Ideation & Process

The following graph shows the correlation of the three species and their germination rates at varying temperatue ranges. The surviv-al of these organisms depend on the effec-tive germination at their body temperatures.

Spores (Conidia)

These spores (conidia) floats in air and colonize or-ganic matter. They also infects hosts when they land.

Page 12: Ideation & Process

THe Hyphae is the key feature in development of the 3 dimensional structure of fungal bio films. The Hyphae display an array of matrix bound like structure. These structures carry the Conidia and helps in dispersing them. The growth of these hyphae are spectacular. The following video shows the growth of the hyphae.

Growth Sectors found in Aspergillus

Polarity Establishment Apical Branching

Lateral BranchingHyphal Morphogenesis

Polarity establish-ment deals with functional speci-ficity. It depends on precise con-trol of asymmet-ric distribution of

molecules.

The emminent beginning of a branch from the hyphal tip is known as apical branching. This form of branch-ing is assumed to prevail in condi-tions that com-promise organi-zation of hyphal tips.

Hyphal Morphogenesis involve establishment and maintenance of polarity axis as well as cell division via the deposition of septa. In simple terms, this event determines the way the growth of the hyphae moves.

The dominant type of branch-ing depicted by aspergillus is known as lateral branching. This type of branch-ing begins from the root.

Architectural Design Inspirations

Hyphae Lamp is a design based on vein for-mation of leaves by designer Nervous Sys-tem. This densely interconnected structure is based on the simulation of the fluid move-ment structure used by the plant for food pro-

‘Field of Light’ in the gardens of Holburne Museum by Bruce Munro is a good ex-ample of inspiration of the mycellium structural form of Aspergillus. This beauti-ful structure illuminates the gardens and has a magical quality associated with it.

‘Enoki Eco City’ is a sustainable model designed for Rome by OFL architectures. This design explores furutre urban possibilities and is re-garded as a self sufficient structure.

Patterning Style A

A focus on the growth pattern of the colony leads to understanding more about this fungi. From a single spore, the growth is found to expand radially in lateral and apical form. This trype of branching growth is also found

in trees.

My Visualization of the colony Growth

The following figure illustrates a time-lapse drawing of the colony growth. The ‘Outburst’ movement indicates the colony extending its reach to maximize their colony by reaching nutrients in the surrounding.

Page 17: Ideation & Process

Patterning Style B

The focus on energy released during the growth of the Hyphae shows the genetic expansion of the elements within the organ-ism. The mitotic divisions explains the pathway the cell growth take and how frequent this form continues.

The energy itself is intense and the continuos growth of this organism by mitotic division indicates the fast-paced growth.

Page 18: Ideation & Process

My visualization of Energy Dissipation during Hyphal growth

The following diagram shows the energy dissipation during hyphal growth formation. The extension of the hyphae is given by the mitotic division of cells and the shape is given by the genetic make-up

of the organism. The final design depicts the energy wave form of the whole process.

Page 19: Ideation & Process

Patterning Style C

The focus is on the Conidio sphores. Under a microsope, the spores display amazing contours on its surface. Its like looking at an overlapped atom with rough edges. These minute component has the ability to infect a person or to spread their genetics to other places. In such compact form, it does achieve its primary purpose. One can only look at it with awe and inspiration.

The Conidiospores are linked to each other when in a cluster. They are held together by ge-latinizing coating which makes

up a sticky surface.

Page 20: Ideation & Process

My Visualization of Conidio Spore contours

The following diagram shows the spores and their structural make-up. The Spores are sperated into micro elements to show the contours. The final design shows the contours being recon-nected together to form one spore. By doing this, my achievement is to illustrate the various

different contours in a spore.

Page 21: Ideation & Process

Analyzing the Final Form

Taking the three different ideas into account, i came up with an incorporated version. The making of the final form begins with the representation of the round colony that leads to the energy dissipating form (shown by the extend-ing arm like structures) and finally resulting in a contoured structure. While i was making this sketch, simplicity was a

factor i was constantly considering.
