Michael Hansmeyer is a post-modern architect who utilizes algorithmic architecture techniques, generative art mentalities, and CADきゃど software to generate complex structures. He is currently based in the CAAD group at ETH's architecture department in Zurich.[1] He holds an MBA degree from INSEAD as well as a Master of Architecture degree from Columbia University. He previously worked with McKinsey & Company, J.P. Morgan, and at Herzog & de Meuron architects.

Architectural design projects

[edit]

"L-Systems in Architecture (2003)" L-Systems in architecture applies Lindenmayer's L-system to mimic organic growth which is then adapted to architectural design requirements.[2]

"Platonic Solids (2008)" "The Platonic Solids project explores how a purely operations-based geometric process can generate complex form."[3] Hansmeyer explains this approach in his 2011 TED talk "Building Unimaginable Shapes".[4]

"Subdivided Columns (2010)" Columns of incredible complexity and detail, made of thousands of stacked sheets of laser-cut greyboard or CNC-milled ABS plastic. Installations of columns were commissioned for the Gwangju Design Biennale 2011 and Grand Palais in Paris 2018.[5] “[The columns] are an attempt to incorporate tools and technologies that can expand the scope of what is possible and what is imaginable and in the best case to create something that is not yet imaginable,” says Michael Hansmeyer in a 2011 article.[6][7]

"Digital Grotesque (2013, ongoing)" Exploring the dialectic between chaos and order, between the natural and the artificial, these full-scale, algorithmically generated grottos are fabricated out of 3D-printed sandstone.[8] The first two grottos were commissioned by FRAC Orléans and Centre Pompidou for their architecture collections.[9] An 18 meter wide, large-scale grotto was constructed for Romeo Castellucci’s rendition of the Magic Flute opera.[10]
