With Emergent Design, we start delivering functionality and let the design emerge. We take piece of functionality A and implement it using best practices and proper test coverage. We then move on to delivering functionality B. Once B is complete, we look at what A and B have in common and refactor out the commonality, allowing the design to emerge. This process continues as we continually deliver functionality. At the end of our release, we are left with the smallest set of the design we need, as opposed to the design we could have imagined up front. EMERGENT’s primary directive is to move beyond categorical thinking and the stratification of building systems toward a more integrated future. This involves a re-examination of assumed hierarchies and discreetness of systems toward coherent yet heterogeneous organizations. We are particularly interested in how the different features and behaviors of structure, environmental systems, envelope, and lighting can be negotiated to produce emergent formal, spatial, and atmospheric effects. Concept:
Emergency of movement from the inside to the outside due to the kinetic musical movement deforming the cubes structure. In addition to the vertical kinetic circulation with the emergent lnes!!Suddenly a new symphony appears a more rigid one creating the cube inside as reflects the institute!! HI-MACS® is the Solid Surface material of the “New Generation”.The mineral material consists of approximately one third acrylic resin (polymethyl methacrylate or PMMA) and 5% natural pigments. Its main constituent, with 70%, is the natural mineral aluminum hydroxide (ATH) obtained from bauxite (aluminum). HI-MACS® is produced on a steel conveyor belt in the form of sheets or as moldings in a modern manufacturing process that meets high safety requirements .The material is heated in a progressive tempering process (Thermal Cure). It is a two-stage thermal curing process at high temperature. This second stage in the thermal process is what sets HI-MACS® apart from other mineral materials and produces a new and stronger compound in which any structural defects are perfectly evened out. This improved structure automatically affects the quality of the material. \The intelligent combination of acrylic, natural minerals and pigments to produce HI-MACS® produces a non-porous, smooth surface that meets the most exacting hygiene requirements and offers a number of benefits over conventional alternatives. HI-MACS® is superior to conventional products, such as marble, granite, glass, ceramic, laminate or polyester, especially on account of its flexibility and the possibility of seamless joints together with ease of reparability.
