This is the result of a study with Mathematica on the way to “produce” an enormous possible range of shapes. This tool that we’ve made allows us to create any shape by setting regular or irregular boundaries. then the software computes and gives born to some alien babies. This is all parametrical and based on mathematical functions. Mathematica is a powerfull software that Open Form will use efficiently from now on.
These are the results of one of our project at the summer school of New Kind of Science.

Concept Diagram
Fundamentally the house is our shelter, but it is also a place of appropriation, where we create our identities and our memories. An interface with the world, the home is a device in which we filter our environment and transfer information about ourselves to others. Our proposal for the plan-less house seeks to create a simple system of movable elements which together yield almost an infinite combination of spatial configurations. The idea of the home is no longer a plan diagram indicating a hierarchy of divisions, but a set of variables which creates a flexible system adapting to the user. Now a more interesting and complex exchange and interaction can occur, one in which the inhabiter(s) can constantly re-appropriate, re-territorialize space as needed. The house conceptually becomes a stage set, in which many activities and storylines take place simultaneously in the same “space” and can also be reconfigured for different “scenes.” A mutable code for living, the plan-less house fulfills the need for the spatial complexity which our lifestyles demand.
