Mid-Term Assignment
In today's discussions, it is widely recognized that architecture 100%
Question has entered various collaborations with other disciplines to
address complex issues, both on a terrestrial and intra-planetary
scale, and to facilitate symbiosis. Consequently, architects are
pushing themselves to establish feedback loop cycles between
primary architectural objects and global scales, leveraging
programming systems, hardware assemblies, and computational
linguistics to maintain ecosystems. We briefly covered some
foundational knowledge and examined the works of leading
practitioners in prior classes. Thus, the current task is to conduct
comprehensive case studies on the listed projects, research the
involved species, and explore their potential to connect with
Proto-architecture and analyze them in given systems.
This task consists of two phases. On day one, You will deliver a
detailed presentation on the assigned species, systems, or case
studies, presenting any research and diagrams gathered. On day
two, we will develop an abstract diagram that clarifies every
aspect of the species/systems/case studies using Adobe
Illustrator.

Please form pairs and ensure that no topics are repeated. The
following is the list of projects for research:

• The Theater of Lost Species

• Thermobimetal tiles
• METAfolly
• hylozoic SYSTEMS
• Synthetic Mudscapes
• Swarm Intelligence
• Ulothrix
• Maugetia Genuflexa
• Oocystis Pusilla
