POROSITY in BIO MEMBRANE

The new project is dealing with calibrated porosities, and I was asked to do a small presentation to introduce how bio membranes function as the porous precedence to mediate material and energy transfer.


  1. MEDIATOR between interior and exterior
    1. filter:
      1. animate matter (corporeal passage)
        1. passive diffusion 
        2. active transport

        3. pumps
        4. endocytosis
      2. invisible energy flows (light, heat, view, ventilation
        1. neurons
    2. manage relations
      1. of matter and energy on the interior
        1. muscles
        2. cytoskeleton

      2. establishing topological organizations based on requirements for (access, sequence, privacy, transparency, exposure, ventilation and heat transfer)
        1. nuclear pore complex
        2. material recycling
        3. protein secretion 
  2. OVERLAPPING SYSTEMS
    1. produced by an external set of demands
    2. and the logic of its interior circulatory flow

For the project, circulation of thermal energy through conduction, convection and radiation will motivate the circulation of people/air/light and heat - essentially it is a multi-system complex including

  • Thermal dynamic hierarchy: 75 hot labs, 100 intermediate offices, 75 cold labs
  • Room Function division: labs, common spaces, and offices
  • Privacy: public, semi-private, and private (key card access)
  • lighting: labs 25% direct, 50% indirect, 25% no; 50% of the building envelope remain shaded
  • site
