- Inspired by cell division, Michael Hansmeyer writes algorithms that design outrageously fascinating shapes and forms with millions of facets. No person could draft them by hand, but they're buildable -- and they could revolutionize the way we think of architectural form.
Michael Hansmeyer is an architect and programmer who explores the use of algorithms and computation to generate architectural form. Full bio: www.ted.com/speakers/michael_h...

Very cool, still wouldn't mind knowing how you "fold" a cube
3d softwares allow u to do this.... I'm learning but can't tell u the exact process yet sorry for replying so late btw
@@mim073 lol.. you are useless (after 9 years ahahahah)
@@blenderguy3250 lmao...I guess so but it can happen is all I meant to say
@@mim073 WHICH SOFTWARE DO YOU USING FOR THIS
@@bhushanmuluk9408 any software, try using blender. It's free
As a student just started learning architect and digital modeling, what he shows really fascinate me for the possibility of using algorism. Technology can push ourselves beyond our creativity. The column he made is purely the product on algorism it is cool. On the other hand, I feel taste of culture, sth that people can resonate, provoke is an essential element in building our environment. I really wonder and curious about what we will have for the future architecture.
Exquisite! This is a trend becoming more prevalent as time goes on, acknowledging the limit of a human direct designer and instead emphasising designing the process.
TED is almost ALWAYS brilliant but this one was incredibly inspiring to me. Breathtaking.
These agorithms + 3d printers = amazing table top art
Wow, that was incredible. I was pretty impressed when he finally said that he'd managed to get them built.
Wow, you put in words something that I only had a vague sense of, and could never have expressed myself. Thanks!
A pure reflection of the underlying replication code of the universe. The universe is hardwired for this structuring and replication. From simplicity comes complexity.
Just amazing.
this can be done easily in Blender 3D software : add a bevel modifyer on the cube, then a wireframe; make it fatter, add a wireframe modifyer again, a subsurf , and a displacement.
Tadaah ! you can make wild symmetric geometry in a few seconds !
Unreal and beautiful.
wow ! amazing algorithm technology by TED . Great job ;)
Wishing the technology to physically manufacture these forms with much greater ease will come soon. Fascinating stuff.
accurate and beautifully said!
tht was superb...i don't know how gaudi did it during his time....the designs reminded me of his forms...
im not an Indonesian guy, but in Indonesia, these sculptures can be hand-made carved in stones each and every small details of it. I've been once in Bali and i was just amazed by their detail stones walls and carvings. and they don't use 3d noise plugin. :D
That looks amazing.
That is incredibly amazing! Imagine PRINTING your own house!
good explanation .... I like ....
Within the imagination it is to take all the elements for development ........
Beautiful shapes inspired by nature... here is the big issue with this effort to bring it to life - with the modern design's focus on bio-mimicry and on reducing waste in manufacturing processes, my question would be: How sustainable is this type of architecture? and is printing an entire model out of polymer plastic sustainable and responsible? How do 3D printers fit into the cradle to cradle design? Just curious if anyone has answers....
Paulina Nowicka well the US Navy is attempting to build an entire 3D printed ship so....
Art has a cost my friend, maybe time, money etc
WELL, if you're trying to make organic shapes, you COULD just 'grow' these structures rather than build them. Of course, this would require some level of nanotechnology, but it's worth considering.
Your own questions have the potencial of answering themselves. Increased strenght with a tiny fraction of the material, Improved absortion, light absortion and conduction, embedded air cooling, extraction, etc... There is still a long way to go in development. Function following form is a very common thing in sience history.
First of all i want to say your voice is god level soothing for me
This man has a great imagination of architecture.. Wish him all the luck with his project :)
I love the whole idea. ABS seems like the only practical material at the moment for 3D printing. At least that way it can be cleaned easily. Dusting the paper ones would be next to impossible.
This is the wonderful successor to Gaudi, HR. Giger, Dali, Escher,and Buckminster Fuller (and many other artists). This is their wildest dreams mixed with organic growth & algorithmic science made real.
I don't know how original these ideas are, but it's a very illustrative example of the power of simple rules producing complex systems.
oooooh yeah. Love this stuff!
It makes sense that these shapes look organic. Organisms create themselves from their DNA using simple, repeated processes, just like the computer creates these shapes.
I love you TED :-)
when i see vid's like this i remember that the slogan of ted is " spread the idea " :D
Beautiful..
Beautiful really
the cylinder input looks badass
These structures are beautiful, like something you could only conceive in a dream. Id love to live in a world surrounded by architecture that would make our modern cities look like stone age technology
i have a very interesting drawing based on the symetrry of the square making a strange fractal shape
Amazing, i've been teaching a generative arte course for 15 year old kids, and so many of what i've learned is embeded in what you say in this talk, so i wonder Could this be some kind of generative architecture?
Very clever idea. I tip my hat to you sir.
good forms but i think the symmetry makes them static, almost as if to say theyve hit the uncanny valley of forms, parametric-ism however gives a more natural (nature like) appeal to forms .
The best art is unsettling.
The process described is *not* inspired "by nature", but by *mathematics* . Maths is generally agreed *not* to be a natural science, but rather a human-created philosophical system of describing phenomenon, very few of which are directly transferrable to evolutionary shaped forms that can be observed in nature. One way or another, folding a cube is as highly an artificial a process as it gets. I have to agree with my pre-posters: This has little practical value, it is art of art's sake. Which is fine by me if I see it in a spiffy SciFi movie, but certainly not in the building I work in. And that's not even addressing sustainability.
I agree perhaps about the sustainability and safety of certain structures created this way, but nature is mathematical. All living things and even the outer reaches of the galaxy are influenced by mathematical properties. The Fibonacci Sequence is clear and visible in nature from the golden spiral of a Nautilus shell to the logarithmic spiraling motion of the galaxies, nature and mathematics are very much in line with each other.
You can find perfect cubes and spheres in nature under extreme conditions though.
Yes fractal concepts are there... But experimenting and bringing that into reality is an amazing progression...with 3D printing, flying robots innumerable possibilities...
Is there a way to do this in Blender? Can anyone tell me?
beautiful
woowee! can't wait to clean them columns
Thank u all very much
indeed. but i wouldn't be surprised if the texture is partially generated. as hansmeyer mentioned, there is still a lot of tweeking required to create cool visuals as opposed to the 99% noise. terrains, for example, are mostly generated in the digital world now (like Avatar's landscape, which is made with Vue)
Where can I download the algorithms?
Hi guys, which software is used to do these miracles?
They look perfect for the Chronicles of Ridick universe!
This.... this is creativity
brilliant
now we can use VR to virtually jump inside this world
Technology check, Entertainment nope, Design check.
2/3. Which is better than 90% of TED. Nice work :)
What software did he use to create those forms?
processing
AutoCAD
Or better yet. download Mandelbulb 3D fractal software and you can achieve the same type of forms.
Good answer ;-)
this is so sick! :-D
Reminds me of the work of Gaudi. Perhaps these methods could even be used to help finish his works.
Think about the Locus hives from gears of war 2, thats what the columns reminded me of
It's so baroque baby! Reminds me of the image of a fly as visualized by an electron microscope. This is the stuff from which nightmares unfold.
I really want to be a parametric architect! I wonder what comes after parametric architecture? How long will I have to wait to find out?
Unlike almost every TED speaker, I liked his voice trough the whole presentation. He would make a nice job working at movies. Peace
Streatched in my capacity to imagine new forms. A beautiful glimpse in God's design.
I recall when fractals were the big thing. They're very similar: fascinating, repetitive shapes with intricacies at all scales, all generated from relatively simple algorithms, and with proven examples in nature. What I don't recall were people running out and saying, "Hey, we gotta build stuff from this".
OK, I've got an open mind... What's the big difference here?
How do you dust them?
Dam I love fractals! Fractal art in real world?... *dies from awesome*
This is the niche of 3D printers. Creating objects of such detail that they would take a lifetime to produce in the physical world, but a computer could produce thousands... beautiful.
Impressive
the thought is great! but i have a new idea, i think the most important thing is to create a method to construct these shapes(not using 3D printing but a method which is also compatible with your physical laws)
Robotics
At work we get plans from upstairs that fit perfect (on computer) .On the shop floor, not so much..
Inspired by cell division. Awesome. If only we could find ways to grow buildings.
Awe-inspiring
Cylindrical video screens should make it possible to have the shapes rendered in real time. Then the columns could be changed between simple and complex as well as intricate color patterns or monochromatic etc. Interesting.
COOL!
i want these columns so bad ;_;
Whats really interesting to me is the possibility of scaling this. At First, i thought this would be an amazing scifi City scape😱
Wait, uh, fractals are something new? Also, where can I get this software? I want to make some fractals.
imagine the number of polygons on a single column. most people would lag out.
Interesting, not sure if I'd want to live with that sort of design. I prefer the minimalistic, these structures are just far to intricate for me to fully enjoy.
I have difficulties to understand the meaning of this talk.
early application for ANYTHING is always a grey area until years later when we look back and say "i dont know how i would live without that". do you really think when electricity was first being developed the average person thought a lightening bolt travelling down a kite would be what it is today? this is why noble prizes are typically given to discoveries that were made years ago--because the significance is not solidified until later.
This guy needs to be in Hollywood working on movie sets not in the field of architecture.
+G rwd why does the guy with a sp00by skull&flame picture, even have that opinion?
watch imdb.com/title/tt2798920/
how about organism living structure. process to generate
Who would want to live with those complex structures in their house? It would feel like being inside an alien spaceship
Anyone knows how to code this on grasshopper ?
Trippy
Creationists would refute that this is possible because they would call it, 'increasing information' without intelligently designing it.
Why abs for huge columns ? I'd use a finer quality large scale printer that can extrude some kind of mix of cement and gypsum .
Doctor Strange: Write that down! Write that down!
16 million facets it quite high, yes with decent cpu/gpu it is very possible, but it is much higher than an average computer, my schools graphics computers tend to crash at about 4 million facets
The shapes remind me of viral capsules more than living forms.
Nothing quite like cleaning dirt out of a fractal....
They're interesting forms, but I personally find their structural qualities on a micro scale to be more interesting than their overall appearance.
Regardless, he has a point: as the guy said - this is incredibly labour intensive and impractical. I'd love to see this type of thing become a reality - a new architectural era, but how are you supposed to make one that would be truly useful? Those columns are holding up how much weight? I can't see them bearing too much of a load.
VIRTUAL REALITY!
But imagine a capitol city with sky scrapers and complexes that looked like these forms, it would be stunning, certainly it would make our cities look like they were from the stone age
Am I the only one thinking about the amazing power the computer must of had?
Why? These are simple slices which can be processed by any computer with a decent CPU. The secred behind it to render one slice at a time. The problem is only that there is no printer in the world that could possibly create the final form in one process, because its way too complex for it to keep up.
I think Gaudi would have loved this program.
I sort of have to agree with you there... the only way this could be relevant is if combined with 3D printers to physically render these designs... and then it couldn't be called art, because it isn't the product of an artist, but of an algorithm. Doing this would also cheapen actual art.
So these are basically fractal patterns?
It's called art. You may have heard of it. We make sound for sounds sake, and call it Music. We arrange words into literature not for functionality, but for what it says to us. Why can't we have architecture for architectures sake?
It's pretty but what about functionality? When nature does something it's usually for a reason. Increased strength, greater surface area for memory, cooling or heating, light gathering, improved hearing, improved adsorption.... What functional benefit can you add to your pretty columns? Otherwise they are just dust collectors.
He reminds me of Howard Roark.
