Actin and Myosin

Current modelling of micro cellular processes have been limiting in terms of their representation of detail. In conjunction with the Department of Biology and Professor Ram Dixit, architectural thinking and modelling skills were incorporated at a molecular level. Biological inputs would inform an architectural project, whereas architectural outputs could help biologists with representations of complex forms.

A patch of skin was sampled from Scanning Electron Microscope [SEM] photography and applied to the general shape of the protein. A composite form was made into a physical model made of layers of paper
