живая архитектура

наши города , давно уже воспринимаются нами как живой организм,а новые технологии, диктуют

законы, по которым эти организмы могут развиваться.

'biodigital processes in architecture' by tommaso casucci, florence, italy

italian architecture student, tommaso casucci, has developed 'biodigital processes in architecture', 
a thesis proposal for the new library of the school of architecture in florence, italy. as part of a 
renovation plan, the existing structure - which was once used as a convent then a penitentiary - is 
retrofitted to include study halls, meeting areas, an auditorium and exhibition spaces. 

exploring the emergent qualities derived from surface modulation, the structure aims to provide a 
continuous and varying experience that accommodates the programmatic functions of the school.

the overall form was developed through a generative methodology that was used to test multiple solutions 
and outcomes representing optimal compromises of structure, performance, program and connections. 
as a result, a series of highly differentiating spaces and sub-structures consume the environment, creating
meandering and adaptive work areas for the students and faculty. void of typical perpendicular planes, the 
interior environment consists of softly undulating white surfaces that skew and rotate to incorporate elements 
of furniture.

an organic and porous skin engulfs the existing brick structure, blurring the boundaries between indoors and out. 
light and air penetrate the transitory spaces, which lack traditional doors and windows.
