Aurora: Adaptive Units For Rational, Organic and Resilient Architecture - Form Finding of Biomimetic Minimal Surfaces

This paper explores the form finding and the structural optimization of biomimetic anticlastic minimal surfaces for large-scale LDM 3D printing technology. The study aims to enhance material efficiency and structural performance trough biomimicry principles. The methodology involves computational tools like Rhinoceros 3D, Grasshopper, and Karamba 3D for geometry definition, structural analysis, and optimization. The results demonstrate that the reaction diffusion remapping process improves material utilization and load distribution, achieving a more balanced and efficient structural behavior. These findings underscore the potential of combining natural intelligence with advanced computational methods in architectural design.
