Using parametric 3D modeling techniques, Caliper Studio developed this complex design into buildable form. Once complete the model was used to extract geometries for custom rolled steel pipe framing and eggcrate lattice fabricated in our shop and installed in 2008.

Branching Respiration Skin (Yukio minobe, 美濃部幸郎, 2008-2009)
この研究プロジェクトはバイオミメティクスの観点をベースに、自然の形態システム（モーフォロジー）をアルゴリズムにより再現し、環境性能の高い建築を生成する方法を探求している。自然界の中で高い換気性能をもつシロアリ塚を参照し、そのモーフォロジーが流線形の外形と内部の導管のブランチング・システムの組み合わせとして解釈されている。さらにこのモーフォロジーをデジタルに再現構成するアルゴリズムと、このアルゴリズムをエンジンとするパラメトリック・デザインと流体解析シミュレーションをループさせたデザイン・プロセスが新たに開発された。この統合的デザイン・プロセスは、環境の外的条件とその建築形態による内的な環境性能を有機的に関係させ、建築を自然環境に最適に適応するものとして生成することを可能にしている。
This project investigates a computational design methodology with reconstructions of natural morphologies through computational algorithms based on Biomimetics whereby higher-performative architecture can be generated. Termite mounds as a representative reference of the highest performative system in nature in terms of its natural ventilation are interpreted as the combination between the streamlining external form and internal branching systems of air conduits. Furthermore, a computational algorithm, which can reconstruct termite mounds' morphologies, and a new design process looping between parametric designs driven by the algorithms and C.F.D. simulations are developed. This integral design process can make architectural forms adaptive to nature through the reciprocity between external conditions from environments and internal performances of architecture itself.

CAD developments
Computational design technologies bring us efficiency and accuracy for building design. The earliest applications of 2d CAD are digitalising the drafting process, and simulating the appearance by 3d modelling and photo-realistic rendering engines.
BIM 3d and parametric modelling methods are enabling us to a practice of integrated design with their abilities of object based simulations and systematic approaches to geometries and building elements. We extended the applications of BIM and parametric modelling with time based (BIM 4D) and performative simulation engines to predict the the risks at construction stage and to analyse the performance of building design.
The latest development of computational techniques are designing real-time responsive intelligences of building components or services according to their performance. The concept of BIM 5D is aiming to embed digital intelligences to Building Automation Systems with the building information designed in earlier stages as life cycle management of the built environment. Meanwhile, Physical Computing, the terms we called those DIY interactive system made with consumer electronic products and open source softwares, which provide a platform for designers the study the potentials of interactivity and its application to architecture.
BAS/BMS & Interactive design
The Building Automation Systems (or Building Management Systems) emerged in the 1970s, when the architectural industries began to extend their design parameters from strength, stability, durability to environmental aspects of energy conservation and user comforts of space. (Travi 2001)
Stand alone building services could not respond to dynamic change of both interior and exterior environment. To complete the task, electronic sensors and actuators embedded with a few simulated reactions were installed into building services for providing variation of performance. With the help of computers, all those separate building services now connected to the workstation as a system - building automation/management system (BAS/BMS) - which simplified the monitoring and controlling process. (Wang 2010)
With such a BAS/BMS, the building become interactive with users and environment. Reactions were performed but those kinetics were all hidden in space, wrapped within decorative finishes and could not make impacts on user's experience of space unless the system is failed to perform its' utilised functions.
Also the BAS/BMS are not looking after all of our senses. Contemporary BAS/BMS are responding to the user's need of transportation, lighting, air quality, safety, non of those interactive strategies or systems are tackling the problem of sound and acoustics.
Acoustic Strategies
Currently our acoustic strategies are mostly pro-actice or passive, by using building features as barrier to change the direction of sound, or applying surface materials which are able absorb sound, or the considerations of connection details so to reduce vibrations of building elements.
In buildings like theatres, which demands a high quality aural environment, the applications of acoustical features are no different, only more precisely engineered to tune the reverberation of sound to balance sound and deliver acoustic experience to every audience. Although the profession acoustical engineered strategies applied, those features seldom designed to server various requirements. (i.e. theatres for western operas are not suiting the needs of Chinese operas.)
The inflexiblility of acoustic strategies are not able to provide a comfortable acoustic environment to built environment users, as sound still overlapping to different activities which affecting other users as noise pollution.
St Patrick's Day Parade 2018 in Digbeth near the Bull Ring Tavern.
The view from Moor Street Car Park on the left side of the Parametric Bridge to Selfridges at the Bullring.
The parade heads up Digbeth then goes around the Bull Ring Tavern, then down Moat Lane, heading past St Martin's Church.
The parade was on Sunday 11th March 2018, around 6 days before the actual St Patrick's Day (always the Sunday before).
Heritage bus MOF 225 - 3225 was seen heading past Bull Ring Tavern.

Paramatrix is a b2b service using unique customer data collected from a hand-made textile sensor-array to customize parametric design objects that can be produced in the store and on demand with digital fabrications tools.
The interactive fabrication process starts from a person sitting on the 48-textile-sensors matrix, generating data processed by an Arduino and sent to Grasshopper which modifies a parametric chair. The customised 3d model is then manufactured by a cnc mill and later assembled with wood legs and back.
