Metamaterial Mechanisms is a research project from the Hasso Plattner Institute
This video from Veritasium is about Penrose Tiling. Simple rules of geometry meant that 5-fold symmetry was impossible as were crystals without a periodic structure. This turns out to be wrong.
This video is about designing a strong shelf brackets that hold a 300mm deep shelf board and it’s designed by topology optimization.
This video is about Bionic Vault Structures called Powerstruct. These hexagonal structures, which is found naturally in turtles or honeycombs, have become an integral part of industrial processes.
Dr. Mirtsch Wölbstrukturierung GmbH develops and produces lightweight structures of thin-walled materials for innovative applications. The patented vault-structuring technique is based on an unique principle of bionic self-organization and is therefore particularly gentle to materials and surfaces.
This paper by Mostafa Zahri present a new model for simulating an interesting class of Islamic design. Based on periodic sequences on the one-dimensional manifolds, and from emerging numbers, we construct closed graphs with edges on the unit circle.
This Paper by Mark Beecroft of the Manchester Metropolitan University School of Art, has been exploring the potential of 3D printing in industrial knitting.
This video by Negar Kalantar is a path to achieving profound knowledge about the conception and realization of motion in architecture.
This video by Numberphile is about strange dot patterns. A dot pattern is a pattern made up of numerous dots or circles.

The longhouse by Mass Timber Design, is a building type common to historic settlements across the world and through history, finding use in the Americas, Asia, and Europe.
The Sound That Light Makes by Australian artist Alexander Knox forms the exterior screen to the newly developed 300 George Street precinct in Brisbane, Australia.
Corollaria Railing by Jessica Rosenkrantz is a railing that acts as a sculptural element winding through the space. This algorithmically-generated, lasercut steel railing is the largest piece of art we’ve ever made.
Corollaria Jewelry is an algorithmic jewelry collection by Nervous System, composed of intricate lattice structures in brass and rubber.
In this project, ITKE designed the freeform facade to demonstrate the structural properties of a new bioplastic developed specially for use in the construction industry.
These projects were made by deployable structures that are physical mechanisms that can easily transition between two or more geometric configurations.
These projects made by Voronoi diagram which inspired from nature, is a system that divides the space into sub-spaces in an organic way. The diagram uses points to create cells that surround these points.
This office tower by British-Israeli designer and architect Ron Arad, has completed in Tel Aviv "inspired by an iceberg" with an angular glass exterior that widens in the middle.
