Winner of Dezeen Awards in Sustainable Design
“Winner: Sustainable design of the year. Aguahoja I is digitally designed and robotically fabricated structure by MIT Media Lab’s Mediated Matter Group, led by Neri Oxman.
Fabricated from the molecular components found in tree branches, insect exoskeletons and human bones, Aguahoja I demonstrates the application of water-based robotic fabrication at a scale close to those of natural ecologies.
The structure’s skin is composed of a flexible bio-composite with functionally graded mechanical, chemical, and optical properties. Derived from organic matter, printed by a robot, and shaped by water, this work points towards a future where the grown and the made unite.
Judges comments: “Finding new sustainable materials is an urgent matter. Aguahoja I shows how nature can help us to design new materials, highlighting the relationship between nature and technology. It is completely innovative and presents hope for the future. The organic material shows huge potential, which could change even how we think about architecture.”
