Using biomimicry to reconnect with nature!

Orproject’s latest research project ‘Khôral’ urges you to dwell on the deteriorating condition of humankind’s relationship with marine ecosystems… Coral reefs, rich and colourful, besides being home to several marine organisms serve other important functions too. Factors such as ocean pollution, acidification and warming have adversely impacted them and continue to do so. As part of their research, the team at Orproject, interested in understanding how one can bio-mimic their forms and computationally simulate their autogenic behaviour, design a double curved mesh that mimics the growth processes and the forms of corals. By programming a differential-line growth algorithm based on […]
