A Strange Peanut-Shaped Building Designed By Algorithms

The Landesgartenschau Exhibition Hall in Schwäbisch Gmünd, Germany, looks like a peanut crossed with a honeycomb. This odd, organic-looking building wouldve never been made if not for the powers of computational design and robotic manufacturing.

For the better part of history we've left architecture up to humans, and the results haven't been so bad. But now, as our computers have gotten smarter and our robots more dexterous, machines are taking a turn at designing our buildings, and they're creating things we never could have.
