"...the prototypes are built forms developed through custom computational protocols. The parameters of these protocols are based on form finding (surface relaxation), form description (composition of developable linear elements), information modeling (re-assembly data), generational hierarchy (distributed networks), and digital fabrication (logistic of production)..."

Nota al margen: El espacio se genera a partir de una serie de operaciones booleanas de adicion y sustraccion dentro de una matriz. Un fractal puro. Y sin embargo el resultado es sutil y flexible, ergonomico y blando y alejado de las frias matematicas. Una preciosidad.
Ese fractal es estructura y paramento al tiempo, generando dos tipos de espacio básico. Los grandes vacios esféricos. Y las cavidades entre dichas esferas. mientras los espacios esféricos son reconocidos como un unico espacio de caracter esponjoso. Las cavideades entre ellos parecen pequeños espacios sueltos que flotan en mitad del gran fractal. Esto es reforzado por la categorizacion de sus paramentos mediante superficies de mosaicos y arabescos. Una autentica preciosidad!

La investigación de Arata Isozaki en La casa del Hombre "Domus" esta dotando de un esplendor nuevo a su arquitectura. Ergonomía y abstracción. Regionalismo y modernidad se dan inusualmente la mano. Particularmente me interesa la conjunción de la pizarra tradicional con un moderno museo del siglo XXI. La extremada flexibilidad de su puesta en obra se adapta como un guante a las formas sinuosas diseñadas mediante CAD 3d.

"The Klein bottle is a descriptive model of a surface developed by topological mathematicians... ...The surfaces that mathematicians have developed hold intrigue for architects as they hold a promise of new spatial relationships and configurations. Technology (CAD) has played an important part in all this, it is now more possible to efficiently describe more complex shapes and spaces and communicate these to the build. Previously the more orthogonal means of communication – plans, sections and elevations naturally encourage buildings which are more easily described in these terms, i.e. boxes... This holiday house is situated on the Mornington Peninsula 1.5 hrs drive from Melbourne. It is located within the tee–tree on the sand dunes, a short distance from the wild 16th beach. From the outset MCR wanted a building that nestled within the tree line. That talked about journey and the playfulness of holiday time. What began as a spiral or shell like building developed into a more complex spiral, the Klein bottle. MCR were keen to be topologically true to the Klein bottle but it had to function as a home. We thought an origami version of the bottle would be achievable and hold some ironic fascination.... The house revolves around a central courtyard, a grand regal stair connecting all the levels. There is a sense of both being near and far to all occupants. Its endless, curling shell-like quality particularly in the tee tree brings about a comforting togetherness..."Materials

In mathematics, the Klein bottle is a certain non-orientable surface, i.e., a surface (a two-dimensional topological space) with no distinct "inner" and "outer" sides. Other related non-orientable objects include the Möbius strip and the real projective plane. Whereas a Möbius strip is a two dimensional object with one side and one edge, a Klein bottle is a three dimensional object with one side and no edges....The Klein bottle was first described in 1882 by the German mathematician Felix Klein...
