Co-habited, co-lived, co-designed and co-created eco-systemic responsiveness in systemic approach to architectural performance: A case study on interaction of performative solid wood envelope ray and algae

This paper discusses a wider range of agents in responsive wood performance problematique. This is done through an example of prototyped envelope Ray (see Figure 1) that circulates air in dry warm settings and encloses itself in humid and cold micro-climatic conditions (see Figure 2). The envelope is to be applied on semi-interior or unclimatised spaces of a built environment while securing home to various residents (see Figure 3, Figure 7 and Figure 8). The commonly known factors of wood warping are its ambient air relative humidity and temperature. This research claims that the situation can be more complex and that the performance can be co-habited, co-lived, co-designed and co-created with more abiotic and biotic agents. This involves life preferences and social agendas across the species of the biotic part. This co-creative design process that has over-evolving results leads me to ratification of a new design field: Systemic Approach to Architectural Performance.
