Entropic Regeneration:
The project, Entropic Regeneration, proposes a new way of understanding material and architecture through the lens of the irresistible force of increasing entropy or disorder.
We study entropy by exploring fermentation through the process of making bread, and by using digital simulation and point cloud modeling. This inspires us to create ‘fermented structures’, which are living entities that grow, evolve, and interact with the surrounding environment.
They challenge our traditional understanding of architecture as a static, eternal form, instead embracing and responding to the effects of entropy and energy.
