Formid — DAO | Algorithmic & Timber Architecture

Formid
London, Ontario

Our most comprehensive representation of a genetic design so far is our Formid Seat. In this algorithm we have algorithmically linked structural sizing, biomechanical fit, counterweight balance, custom 3D prints, tailored lasercut profiles, automated fabrication registrations, and aesthetic proportions together seamelssly. Formid was initiated as a precursor to our genetic design work in architecture and many physical, tailored outputs have already been fabricated. Like a seed, the effort to produce the genetic design is recovered in the efficiency of simplifying variability during assembly.

The electrical and mechanical systems are presently being coordinated into the total system.
