Neri Oxman Silk Pavilion

This structure was created at the MIT Media Lab as a collaboration between machines and nature. The initial structure was fabricated by the CNC machine, and then 6,500 silkworms were placed in the scaffolding to create a secondary formation that reflected how the silkworms responded to heat and light by forming pockets of differing densities.
