Transcalar Bio-Tectonics: Ai-Driven Intertwining and Emerging Morphologies
This paper discusses the concept of scale as not just a measure but also as the ability to interact from natural to artificial and from artificial to natural. This study explores the idea of “Transcalar Bio-tectonics” as a means of addressing the complex challenges presented by emerging morphologies across various scales: micro and macro within natural species and integral earth. The methodology employed in the study, which includes three interconnected experiments: The first experiment involves both observation of natural organisms adapted to a physical surface and analyzing their behavior and characteristics in situ. The second experiment focuses on unlocking derivative articulation potentials of the observed organisms using AI. The third phase of the methodology entails constructing a transcalar prototype which identifies unique challenges and examines the relationships between different scales. As an interpretation, the primary expectation is to unlearn and redefine the relationship transcending hierarchical scales.
