 The models are created from iterative processes where ideas are explored through the production of mock-ups. We do material studies, there are manual sketches and computer drawings: they all form an intrinsic part of the research towards the design of an organic guerilla beehive. The models are created from iterative processes where ideas are explored through the production of mock-ups.

 What happens when living organisms grow on designed structures made of organic, super fertile material? Create a design, print it using a hacked 3D printer and organic material, which is a fertile breeding ground for a slime mould (Physarum polycephalum), and see how the mold grows and redefines the shape of your structure. The aim is to design artificial systems combining digital strategies and living material.  What happens when living organisms grow on designed structures made of organic, super fertile material?

 Physarum polycephalum - Biological meets digital computing
Over the past few decades, biology has entered the collective debate more than any other science. Organisms can be manipulated, by combining different features, to perform specific functions. Designers cannot be careless about the contribution of this science, that enables a paradigm shift of the design tools, changing them from a system of representation of a product, to a direct materialization of the product through novel specific processes (e.g. 3D printing); this by defining a new balance between the autonomy of the process itself and the will of the designer.  Physarum polycephalum - Biological meets digital computing
