INTERPENETRATED POROSITY


Interpenetrated porosity aim to generate a free material research based morphological constraints. This research explores new spatial conditions without any preconceived ideas about the final form. The research aims to feature as architectural design embryos.

The project understands the formation of complex spatial conditions under a phenomen of porosity. Indeed, porosity is a recurrent and fondamental architectural design topic . Thus the project explores and challenges the limit between the inside and the outside as an ambiguous and interpenetrated geometries (like the klein bottle).

This reserach operates  through digital experimentations, and physical testings.
