SYM[BIO]SCAPE SPYROPOULOS STUDIO | PHASER 2 BOOK AA DRL 2020-2022 JIADONG LIANG XIAOMENG ZHANG LEKAI ZHANG XIRONG ZHENG Sym[BIO]scape is a bio-based design research project that aims to terraform the Earth based symbiotic and agent-based growth strategies. In the era of post-Anthropocene where technology and artificial intelligence compute, condition and construct our world, non-human architecture and unmanned factories are constantly occupying the rural areas and countryside. These machine landscapes emerge together with land degradation and the loss of vernacularity and architectural context. The project Sym[BIO]scape puts forward a manifesto towards the evolution of landscape infrastructure not only for land restoration and sustainable material production, but one that establishes a symbiotic system with the environment through energy harvesting and transformation, along with landscape reshaping and terraforming. This hybrid system combines two biological behaviours in its operating logic: the anthill strategy for the generation of porous scaffold structures and the mycelium strategy to support natural growth and soil sustainability. Both digital simulations and physical experiments are conducted to research the behaviour of ant colonies and the growth of mycelia. In addition, this is a self-assembling and self-renewable system, adaptive to the dynamic environment. Starting from the re-distribution of the on-site material based on the behavioural pathways of ants, real-time data sensing and harvesting-through-machine learning strategy, it generates the porous scaffold structure as a host environment for mycelium growth.

Clay

Water

Deposition Material

Soft Clay The mixture of clay and water has a certain strength of plasticity, which facilitates the deposition of materials for shaping and is suitable for the manufacture of diverse cave structures.

Sticky texture Can be easily squeezed out and joined between clays

Mould Material

Material Test Material Type: Clay

Clay

Plaster

Deposition Material 01

Silty Clay The mixture of clay and gypsum powder has a stronger bond, resulting in a mixture that is not conducive to syringe extrusion, but rather a direct pouring method.

More viscous and dry texture Thick clumps, suitable for mounding, requires less drying time

Material Test Deposition Material 02

Plaster

Soil

Water

Sticky, sandy texture Becomes a viscous liquid fluid, cools and sets after pouring, requires a long drying time

Silty Soil The mixture of sand and gypsum powder has a faster shaping ability, but it can only be poured, and it is more fragile and breaks easily after drying.

KUKA Robot Clay Printing

Sand Binding

Sand deposition uses both sand and resin for printing, first laying a flat layer of sand, then planning the path and spraying resin where needed. After sitting for a period of time, the sand will be shaped by the resin and solidify from a granular state to a solid. Finally, the excess sand is removed and the porous sand structure is presented.

We changed the traditional robot arm clay printing method and used unitized material deposition to complete the physical rendering of the scaffolding system. Each block represents the amount of earth that can be deposited by the machine at one time, all the holes are perfectly rendered as the sand flows out, thus achieving the porous structure and material deposition .

PHYSICAL MODEL DISPLAY Scaffolding Structure Section We have combined two universal materials from the earth: clay and sand, and completed the structure with two types of deposition. The clay material is concentrated in the underground section, thus controlling the underground temperature and humidity and ensuring the cultivation and operation of the underground biofarm.

Exploring a hot wire cutting method to maximise material utilisation

In this workshop we have sought to separate materials rather than carve them, exploring a way to maximise the use of materials with a minimum number of cuts. A single cutting path is used to obtain a landscape piece

that can be combined with each other to achieve a perfect use of the material. By iterating the cut paths several times, the most efficient cut is calculated to obtain a better straight surface.
