Hylozoic+Ground


 * Project Name:**Hylozoic Ground
 * Project Credits:** Philip Beesley
 * Project Brief Description:**

For the 12th International Architecture Biennale, Hylozoic Ground transformed the Canada Pavilion with an immersive, interactive environment made of tens of thousands of lightweight digitally-fabricated components fitted with meshed microprocessors and sensors. The project’s title refers to ‘hylozoism’, the ancient belief that all matter has life. Relating to the new paradigm of Protecell Architecture, Hylozoic Ground offers a vision for a new generation of responsive architecture. Specifically, the Hylozoic Ground environment can be described as a suspended geotextile that gradually accumulates hybrid soil from ingredients drawn from its surroundings. Akin to the functions of a living system, embedded machine intelligence allows human interaction to trigger breathing, caressing, and swallowing motions and hybrid metabolic exchanges.
