The x-tremes international traveling studios, previously run between RMIT and Studio Prix, die Angewandte, are currently being held with SCI-Arc, examining adaptable and responsive structures and systems that react to extreme external dynamic forces impacting on zero-gravity space station environments. Students are employing evolutionary structural optimisation software, Surface Evolver and the Evolversaurus plug-in for Rhino developed at RMIT and exploring diverse scripting practices. Will Hosikian’s thesis project Tropism, supervised within this studio framework, investigated compound zero gravity manifold environments. Multi layered systems of adaptive symmetry were developed while subjecting generative structures to external stimuli such as solar radiation, direct light and local magnetic field deformations. Tropistic behavioral qualities and compositionally differentiated manifold environments emerged through mediating external and internal requirements.
