Achim Menges presents a range of morphogenetic design techniques and technologies that synthesise processes of formation and materialisation. Through a series of design experiments, he explains his research into an understanding of form, materials and structure, not as separate elements, but rather as complex interrelations in polymorphic systems resulting from the response to varied input and environmental influences, and derived through the logics of advanced manufacturing processes.
