Week 1: Axonometrics


Neri Oxman Concepts: 
1. Materialecology -  computational design strategies for form finding and 3d printing technology to create almost living structures.
2. Nature doesn't offer forms, but processes

3. Nature designs for the multifunctional


Erich Mendelsohn Concepts:
1. Personal Philosophy of dynamism
2. Expressionism - to present the world solely from a subjective perspective, distorting it radically for emotional effect in order to evoke moods or ideas.
3. Expressionist sketches and romantic symbolism (Used no historical precedents in formulating designs, instead from expressionistic sketches and romantic symbolism)
