C-Chair
C-Chair concerns the design of a computational chair inspired by biological mechanisms. C-Chair represents the first phase in the development of an algorithmic framework for the evolution of differentiated architectural forms. The C-Chair itself can be thought of as a metaphorical artifact of both a biological system and an object-oriented machine. It is composed of two components – a tree and a rhizome. The tree represents the structural support system, and the rhizome acts as the surface. Each component has its own innate “knowledge” concerning its morphology.
