The idea of an “Emergency Parametrically Customised Deployable System” was born with [An_D]. [An_D] was a work team, Design Research Laboratory Based, at the Architectural Association of London, which investigated about deployable parametrically customised membranes. Since the beginning we were interested in body oriented architecture, a deployable fully integrated into the body architecture that deploys anywhere and
The cutting patterns of this multilayer membrane, that are controlled in four different scales, will hold all the design weight. Controlling some basic parameters, it is possible to order the material how to behave. Emdeplo conceived this type of membrane as the future adaptable customisable architecture. The membrane is deployable and arrives on site rolled and packed
[An_D], Emdeplo’s London seed, defends a NOMADIC ARCHITECTURE. We all have become Nomads, diary nomads of the big metropolis of the 21st century, who carry with them all necessary items for surviving 24 hours. Humans became stressed and velocity has emerged as a new variable in our cities and life generating an anxious way of life that sometimes can destroy the human structure. Relaxing Pod is an envelope that, through the human movements, controls a transition from an impersonal
In recents decades the notion of a time-based design has increased the architectural practises in exploring new kinds of design more linked to biology. This approach allows thinking in a new kind of architecture whose morphogenesis process can be directly linked to human needs and material plasticity. This membrane studies reflects our position in the
