. In the case of the Elbphilharmonie, Herzog and De Meuron used algorithms to generate a unique shape for each of the 10,000 gypsum fiber acoustic panels that line the auditorium's walls like the interlocking pieces of a giant, undulating puzzle.On looks alone, the effect is stunning. The 10,000 panels coalesce into a billowy, off-white skin, punctuated only by 2,150 seats and 1,000 hand-blown glass light bulbs.
Using these requirements as parameters, Koren developed an algorithm that produced 10,000 panels, each with a unique shape and pattern, mapped to clear aesthetic and acoustic specifications. “That’s the power of parametric design,” he says. “Once all of that is in place, I hit play and it creates a million cells, all different and all based on these parameters. I have 100 percent control over setting up the algorithm, and then I have no more control.
For some designers, ceding control is a scary prospect. But Koren finds it practical. “It would be insane to do this by hand,” he says. The outcome, too, might have looked less original. Designers routinely praise new and surprising forms that emerge from their collaborations with algorithms. The intricate, functional, and beautiful panels of the Elbphilharmonie are only the latest testaments to their potential.
The reality is a little underwhelming, though.
It will be quite exciting to see when AI begins designing 3d objects!
Surrealistic
Study Ottoman mosques built by Architect Sinan and reverse engineer his algorithms to see the genius in his architectural acoustics.
Looks like part of a Mother ship where the inhabitants gather for entertainment.
isuspect a neuron ?
wow unseen tothis day what inspired em?
the principles of a c o u s t i c s and for the illumination of stage actors and musicians around these acoustic traits
Pretty sure I heard the legend of Darth Plagueis here.
I'm guessing nobody did the math on the ticket sales payback period for the concert hall cuz all the computers were tied up running algorithms?
Stunning architectural design.
Amazing! Looks like the insides of a Klingon battleship. 😂
is that a concert hall or where they hold galactic senate hearings
it looks like a cave to me, and think that was the idea. Slightly overengineered, but nice to see (hear). Kudos!
Are there reviews on how the experience is?
Hi, I am a structural engineer from Iran who have many ideas. I have summarized some of my ideas on my twitter(I suggest look at the idea of generating electricity by gravity). I want to work with companies and investors. Do you want to cooperate?
What a stunning design.
