(Complexity Ceilings) So, we looked into the generation of spider silk and found that this logic is extremely similar to the logic of braiding industrially ropes. But, instead of numerable spins, thousands of ‘spinnerets’ create silk out of protein and braid them

BRAID - Chapter 3 Prototyping Braid Set Up

Multi-agent system research We cannot build architecture like the way biology build organism. In order to materialize the ideas we need a system work as media, transfer the code and data into something buildable, like physical behaviors. So we look into multi-agent system. And these kind self-organize adaptive behavioursâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; systems are already existed in nature. For example, flocks of birds, school of fishes, and swarm of termites, the shifting sand dunes, or even the economy systems. In these collective behaviour systems, each individuals like a bird, a fish, a termite, or a grain of sand behaves individually on their own. There is no designated controlling agent or command centre giving orders. But when individual forming a group, they start to acquiring swarming intelligence having global adaptive appearances, and appearing to be self-aware and autonomous. For example, flocking birds and fishes can avoid predators and response to environments as groups. With only a few individual position on the edge knowing the appearance of predators and reacting, most of the member never known if there is a predator. Same phenomenon with termites, without a blue print or plans, termites' society are still able to build their cave by working together. And these caves built by them turn out to be very efficiency in ventilation, structure and many other aspects to make the species adapt to their living environments. It is easy to notice that these cases show dynamic and adaptive structures which respond to specific performance criteria in different scenarios.

"By using advanced computer systems, intricate algorithms, and massive computations, designers are able to extend their thoughts into a once unknown and unimaginable world of complexity." (Algorithmic Complexity) So, we set up a model to simulate this situation, so that we don't need to design the route of each spins, which is also impossible. At this point, we introduced agents to represent spins, so that we can controls the movement of spin by writing algorithms to drive the behaviour of agents. We can view each individual behavioural agent which cooperates with other agents like swarming intelligence. We used each agentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s behaviour to simulate the movement of each spin which have a thread attached and then braided. And agents will also act responsively to other agents' data and environment. From learning agency system developed by Reynold's boid, agents are programmed bottomup, which means we design the behaviour of each agent and expecting global behaviour of the collective group. Self-organised structures can be regarded as a kind of computation performed by the interactions of physical particles or agents. Through simple interactions of alignment, cohesion and separation we can create basic self-organizing flocking behaviour. And by adding variable value of other basic behaviours to agents, in our case moving circle around with other, another layers of behaviour designed according to fabrication or material conditions, we are able to create the system help us making knot of thread to weave or braid the fabric. As what you can see from figure10 is different time frame of the agents when they are braiding. By parameterizing rhythmic interaction of the system and organizing different hierarchies of behaviours run though variable durations, many different expressions of collective behaviour of agents can be programmed.

High population agent systems increase the resolution of the fabric of architecture through local interaction and replication these systems generate a heterogeneous intricacy. The open nature of Processing enables agency to be encoded within diverse substrates. Consequently the notion of the agent can be expanded from a position or vector to consider the agency of a line, network, surface or component. This conceptual programming of matter encodes micro design decisions within a distributed population of agents that interact locally to give rise to a self-organized macro design intent. Such large scale/high population multi-agent systems provide resilient fabric that can eventually adapt and learn when connected to external inputs (such as weather data, programmatic inputs, fabrication and constructability constrains including material science). Redundancy and temporal rhythms (including parallel realities of computational time with its massive probabilistic iterations and poly-dimensionality), could be synchronized with the http://www.bioteams.com/2006/03/21/swarm_behavior_and.html

Programming agents to control space configuration, quality and structure distribution and performance, simultaneously enjoying properties of living organic structure. Porosity, adhesion, structural integrity, and adaptation. Programmed agents control space configuration, quality and structure distribution and performance, simultaneously enjoying properties of living organic structure, porosity, adhesion, structural integrity, and adaptation. Rendering from inside of the column showing internal space and detail of adhesion. Even if thread was braid into clear cluster, a subconnection and adhesion could still be achieved to create integrity of whole structure. In micro views of the formation of the fabric, we can see the parallel and redundancy make it more adaptive and resilient. While, in a global point of view, woven structures also enjoy many efficient properties, which can be found in nature. The global structure performance of the braiding fabric is very like bones. The lattice and adhesion makes it efficiently lightweight and also able to withstand forces in many different directions. From the comparison diagram between figure15 (our braiding rendering) and figure17(cross section of birds' bone), you may see a great similar properties. Hollow, adhesions, and porosity, these are not just about form, it meets structural requirement, which give biological species adaptability.

Data Matric And Agent Distribution We use a matrix to collect and store data and using agents to run though In our project, we chose a type of basic biological system-swarm behavior.

It is typically made up of a population of simple agents interacting locally with

one another and with their environment. Agent is the minimal unit and lowest level in this kind of system, and always follows very simple rules. In our behavior, the fundamental rules are: cohesion, separation, alignment. With continues adjustment of parameters, we built up our own library of biological swarming to match our mathematical braiding.

Data Matrix from top to bottom, frame 20-1000 different color means different value of data. Agents have different behavior in different color. Red is space agents will avoid going though Yellow is the field agents will run parallel to create a regular patterning. White is the field agents will run freely by self-organizing behaviors. It will have different data weight and agents will compute locally and behavior with adaptive. With the adaptability of swarming, it can be used to interact with context and environment. Specifically, we created a data matrix to collect and accumulate various data. When swarming agents navigate in the data matrix, they can read the data and change behaviors according to the data.

We believe that the mobile robots have a better application than just placing of bricks and system should be merged between human and machine, rather than using robotic duplicate human or the replacement for labour. Instead of design of the layout is already predefined and programmed for the drones. We can add sensors and program these mobile robots react to local environments. By giving them behaviours like agents in simulations, robots are programmed to be controlled by a computer code just like how we control agents in simulation, also the way they interact with the neighbouring agent to build up a structure. bricks and system should be merged between human and machine, rather than using robotic duplicate human or the replacement for labour.

B-Bot Behaviors

The diagram shows the prototype of the braiding robots--B-BOT. Built in

BRAID - Chapter 4 Behaviors Study

Alignment Behavior

with 7 infrared sensors and 3 light sensors, B-BOT has the ability to detect surrendering obstacles, other B-BOT, boundary condition and lightness of environments. In order to create knots, we programmed the robots to move circling around each other as basic fabrication behaviour.

The B-BOT is a hybrid with mechanical system and biological system to some degree. Motor system and the bobbin are traditional machine in industrial manufactory. We use these to supply power for B-BOT and pull braiding threads. Micro-controller and feedback system are the “brain” and “nerves”. They give some biological characteristics to B-Bot. Based on these components; we got start with researching the relationship between mechanical part and bio part. For instance, curve between voltage supplied by micro-controller and revolving speed of motors. Then, we tried to scripting behaviors for B-BOT: The core behavior is “Hover” and “Change Neighbor”, specifically, “Hover” means that when B-BOT detect there is a neighbor around him, he will begin to circle around him neighbor, by executing this behavior, we can achieve the basic braiding. “Change Neighbor” means that when B-BOT detect more than one neighbor, it has a chance to change a neighbor to circle around. By using this

Ailment: B-Bot could still have the aliment behavior just like the simulation does. This robot will march towards the direction of neighbor robots.

Encounter Behavior

Circling Behavior

behavior, we can get a braiding pattern emerged out from several v instead of bonding two threads into bolder one.

Encounter behavior: when the robot run into others, the IF sensors in the front will detect and turn the robot to right, then the sensor on the left will detect other robot and begin to make the robot move around that one.

-116-

-117-

BRAID - Chapter 4 Behaviors Study

Change behavior: in order to prevent two robot circling each other infinitely, we develop the change behavior. If the robot is circling one neighbor and meet another new neighbor, it will switch to move around the new neighbor.

In order to create knots, we programmed the robots to move circling around each other as basic fabrication behaviour.

Infrared sensor helps B-BOT to detect nearby obstacles and each other, code has been written to control their behaviors when encountered. Very simple behaviors with higher population will generate collective behaviors and self-organized swarming system. Within the system, robotic swarm can create structure and fabric.

BRAID - Chapter 4 Behaviors Study

Specifically, there are 3 situations. 1. When B-Bots are in the bright area, they can execute all behaviors they have. 2. When B-Bots are at the edge between brightness and darkness, they can find out which direction is brighter to go towards. 3. When B-BOTs are in dark area, what they can do is just navigate randomly until they find the bright area. Thus, light projection can be used to make cluster distribution among B-BOTs, and control the global form in physical fabrication with aggregation, diffusion, migration of light spots. In addition, the animation of light will be the interface between physical fabrication and digital simulation.

And as agents reading local environments, we also make B-BOT can recognize boundary condition. In this way, the robots have ability to adapt to boundaries.

Infrared sensor helps B-BOT to detect nearby obstacles and each other, code has been written to control their behaviors when encountered. Very simple behaviors with higher population will generate collective b e h a v i o r s a n d s e l f- o r g a n i z e d swarming system. Within the system, robotic swarm can create structure and fabric.

Also, by giving them other sensor, the can achieve the abilities to adapt other aspect. For example, we added light sensors in the robots making then responses and adapt to change of lights. From the diagram below, we can see how the robots responses to light from a projector. For, each B-BOT is reading different data of light intensity, which can trigger different behaviours. We programmed these robot only braid in light zoning. Then, a mapping of light intensity can control the distribution and density of the agentsďź&#x152; because they are constantly adapting to the light.

-120-

-121-

Light Control As we have explained before, a light projector was used to feed light data to the robot the control their distributions and global behavior. With this global control, we can distribute the robotic systems to create the structure where we want or simulated. Globally speaking, we can simulated the agents swarming in computer according to the space or any form we designed and project to the robot. Locally speaking, B-BOT can only recognize the very neighbor robots around them, the individual doesn't have the concept of clustering or grouping. With the control of projector, we can divided them into different clusters and then switch the members to create the bifurcate and branching.

Fabrication Process in Tsinghua University Workshop

In near future, the whole robotic systems can function all bases on physical sensing and reacting. For the experiment of bridge scenario, we can put the save sensors monitoring the bridge into these mobile robots. A huge numbers of the robot provide a wider sensing range and more accurate data. On the other hands, this local data collect by local robots can also feed on them and lead their behaviours. Then, after setting up this system, we can deploy a few hundreds or thousands of these robots and they will behave fully on their own. They can finish constrictions without further interfere of human beings only adapt to their environments. These robots will work like silkworms weaving it own cocoon. Silkworm doesn't need to design a cocoon and build it according to his blueprint, it just has to follow its instinct to add silk wherever make it comfortable, and at last a complete perfect house can be made. This might be leading us to a new future. Design, construction and occupation process can be completing simultaneously, just like a true biological form's reproduction. Human inhabit may interact with these fabrication robots. Robots can read data from inhabitant ordinary life and feeding genetic algorithm to control back this robotâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s behavior. At this point, we may create architecture like living organism keep adapting, evaluating and mutating. -200-

The Site The project is located in the Xin Jie Kou CBD in Nanjing, Jiangsu province. Although Xin Jie Kou CBD is called "The First CBD In China", there are many problems with the planning according to on-the-spot investigation. For instance, the most important problem is heavy traffic caused by too many visitors. To solve this problem, the government has to exploit underground space so excessively that pedestrians must take most of time in the

underpass. Even

there is no zebra crossing on the ground. It will bring about lost feeling. At the same time, compared with successful case, this district has no landscape node to let visitors positioning and lacks supporting facilities. So, this project is an opportunity to perfect this CBD. What I will do is to make an exit from the concrete walls.

The Rihui Lane It's just a 2.5 meters wide road. But in the past, it's the most lively road. So, it carried the memory of local residents. I completely reserved it's location and strengthened the function.Now,it's 2 floors. The lower one is confined space and the higher one is open space. At the same time, the higher one is connected to the trestle roads and the roof of retails.

When I got the site, what bothered me was how could I design an art gallery at this stagnant place in the suburban district. It ran counter to the civilianization of museum. However, when I researched local culture of Chengdu, the drawback became the highlight in my work. Chengdu has unique auto culture, most families have private cars and the slow pace of life makes citizens spend their holidays
