The project aims to design a regenerative and resilient space centre for urban environments. It explores theconcept of architecture as a responsive machine, adapting to urban, socio-economic and environmentaldynamics. Drawing inspiration from natural systems, the project involves creating three-dimensional prototypesto analyse ecological infrastructure. In a unique approach, the exploration extends to developing chainprototypes inspired by the collaborative and efficient behaviours observed in weaver ants, further enriching theproject's understanding of interconnected ecological systems. These assemblies contribute to the developmentof a new architectural paradigm that dynamically responds to the ever-changing environment. The envisionedspace centre, with its human-centric design, sustainable features, and adaptable technology, becomes atransformative hub within the urban landscape. It is poised to integrate new space exploration technologies,adjust to changes, and symbolise a progressive step towards emergent ecological morphology in architecture.
