IaacC hosted an extremely interesting video conference lecture by Stephen Wolfram, of Wolfram Research and Mathematica fame. Unintentionally his lecture covered a huge range of examples about the underlining complexity in very simply systems, it wasn’t until the end that he was informed that our studio assignment was to design a tree.

The content posed many question as to how mathematical technology can be applied in everyday lif,e as well as an architectural scenario. I was quite inspired by the fact that, generally speaking, natural complexity is very simple. It give me hope that maybe I can develop completely complex system, based entirely on my simple life of sleeping, eating, speaking to people in Australia and iaac. I can only hope.
