55 December 2009 Generative Fabrication OPPOSITE PAGE, CLOCKWISE FROM TOP LEFT Complex Form in Timber by Fabien Scheuer. Construc- tion of free-form architecture in timber using parametric design and computer-controlled fabrication tools. Holy Ghost by Lionel Theodore Dean. A chair designed using genetic algorithms to determine modifi cations to the iconic Louis Ghost chair by Philippe Starck. Pluripotent Structures by Ferda Kolatan. An investigation into adaptive and variable formal and structural organiza- tions that have more than one possible outcome. Ground Substance: Ceramic-Textile Sculpture by Jenny E. Sabin, Sabin+Jones LabStudio. A hybrid architec- tural design and biological research unit that demonstrates new modes of thinking in design and material construction. THIS PAGE, TOP TO BOTTOM: Morning Line by Chris Lasch and Benjamin Aranda. This "semasiographic building" form is derived from naturally occurring geometries whose logic has been unraveled and worked into algorithms used to design the structure.
