The studio is investigating swarms through a variety of species, their behavioral patterns, movement and part to whole. By pin pointing the basic underlying patterns of a particular species a formulaic equation can be established. This equation of bottom up intelligence will be investigated in terms of its potential application to design. The studio will focus on applications relating to performative skins, structural components and movement at the architectural scale.

This blog is dedicated to the support, documentation and exploration of a 2nd year Undergraduate Studio at Pratt Institute School of Architecture. The studio is led by Enrique Limon with TA Shawn Sims. The studio is comprised of the following students:
Julie Bahng, Guillermo Bernal, Borah Betts, Zamie Casazola, Frank Dong, Matt Failla, Paul Mattingly, Jonathan Min, Ryan Prat, Kenny Roh, Allison Spinelli, Christopher Wong, and Jessica Yoon.
Experimenting with patterns based off of e-coli behavior. Taking the basic patterns created by e-coli swarms into consideration, and creating a 3D form through a series of connections and transformations in density.
