Does it torture a tree? We do not know how they feel, right? Imagine you inject same substance in animal's body. Tree may show natural growth and may not show sign of suffer. Do we absolutely know, we are not torturing them ? Sorry for asking this question, but it looks like, trees will not feel very comfortable 🙁 Sorry, it is just my view point. I can be very wrong.

check out SO.AR – SOFT ARCHITECTURE
by Aysel Abasova Deepak Sundaram Sri Sai Tarun, IAAC > Institute for Advanced Architecture of Catalonia, 2019
Soar is a material system that looks for an alternative to rigidity. It is derived from soft robots that are generally actuated with pneumatics or liquids. SoAr works with a liquid that evaporates at low temperatures, and an elastic polymer that traps this liquid in the form of bubbles. In this research, these materials are alcohol and silicon. The ingredients of this system allow it to respond to the heat of the sun thus making it passive.
It doesn’t need any additional energy and it is never constant. The wind, the angle of the sun and the moisture all play a role in how the actuators will react so it is safe to say that no two actuators will behave identically, giving it the illusion of being alive. This research concentrates on how these softbots could be controlled, what properties they possess and what could be their future use.

New Project Submission by Daniel Elkayam _ SEAmpathy
Imagine a world in which we harness nature in favor of man without harming it. Reflecting on our consumption habits and a vision for wellbeing that is more beneficial for both the planet and mankind have led to a design process that explores algae as a catalyst for perceptual change. The project focuses on the Biophilic experience and natural aesthetics with objects that offer two approaches that create a hybrid between land and sea:
“YAMA” – A partition that proposes an implementation of the algae as a versatile sheet with a potential for recycling and industrialization.
“MAYMA” – Reconstruction of the algae for a configuration of living fibers that sustain photosynthesis.
