Wearable Habitats.

Besides the obvious criteria of the materials being lightweight and durable, I also think the idea of colonizing is crucial. The Kengo Kuma House is a simple yet sophisticated example of this. The Immediate Zip Aid Tarp on the "Structures" page above, is another example of that.


Individual structures created to expand and colonize
- zippers, velcro, fasteners
Pneumatic Structures (see definition above)
- inflatable structure support and padding for comfort
Smart Fabrics for rapid response and locating individuals
- gauge illness, body temperatures, etc.
- locate families as crisis continues

Mutating Systems

instead of working in an object-oriented way, i tried to create systems that i could build on and transform. the first is just a series of linking. the second is a floral pattern that gradually expands. the third is a more complex, a geodesic structure with the wall of one side beginning to explode and transform.

Mutating Systems Continued

Systems and States.

In class, Theo started drawing a bunch of dots on the page. Then, he implied a change in the dots, as if we were actually looking in a petri dish or under a microscope. I started creating small rings from cutting surgical tube and linking them togehter. THe rings are acting as the normal states. I will assemble these some how to show the system of normal states with a disruption, causing a mutated state.

Mutation

Originally, my concept was looking at how technology could create a temporary mutation to create whatever superpower is needed at the moment. Because I was focusing on the technology and not the idea of mutation, I found that challenging to translate visually. Simplifying my concept to mutation, I will go back to the drawing board and develop systems of mutation instead of the technological input creating the mutation.
