Bridging Bio-Inspiration and Technology: The Synthesis of Structural Airwebs Via Ai Integration
This paper explores the innovative integration of biomimicry and Artificial Intelligence (AI) in architecture, specifically through the development of a Structural AirWebs prototype. Inspired by Tomas Saraceno's interdisciplinary work, which merges concepts from airborne biospheres and arachnid-inspired structures, this research employs advanced AI to systematically analyse, synthesise, and reconstruct biological forms into groundbreaking architectural solutions. Utilising AI algorithms, 3D printing technologies, and parametric modelling, the methodology extends beyond traditional design approaches, creating interdisciplinary installation prototypes that showcase both practical and aesthetic advancements. These innovations challenge conventional architectural paradigms and advocate for a new era of design that is deeply integrated with ecological principles. This study illustrates the potential of AI-enhanced biomimetic architecture and sets a precedent for future sustainable practices. It offers a model for environmentally responsible and technologically advanced architectural endeavours that harmonise structural innovation with environmental awareness, exploring how architectural design can potentially contribute to sustainable development.
