ARBOR.Pilae is a cyborganic timber architecture embedded with the intelligence of a living tree. It establishes a regenerative lifecycle of wood from its living state to a bio-artificially “grown” material system that is embedded with the behaviour of a living matter. It uses machine learning algorithms to read the diverse structural properties of wood species traditionally used in Venice and impart its behaviour into synthetic form. Biological data is extracted from living systems, processed through inorganic machine learning algorithms, and reintegrated into synthetic matter, woodbased materials capable of storing and re-metabolising carbon.
