Having a look at Bioconstructivism and Detlef Mertins

from http://slipscale.blogs.cca.edu/category/detlef-mertins/

reading Kinetic Architecture and Geotextile installations, Philip Beesley

A key term in my pursuit is empathy, My use of this term draws upon aesthetic theory that examines nuanced relationships involving projection and exchange. Combining terms of mechanism and empathy, I hope to develop a stance in an intertwined world that moves beyond its closed systems. By drawing upon recent revisionist readings of cultural history , I want to develop a sensitive vocabulary of relationships. In the terms of figure ground relationships the figures I compose are riddled with ground. (p20)
