GENERATIVE
RUNNER

Data encoded construction.
Optimizing performance through
conscious development of structure.

RENDERED VISUAL OF PRESSURE-MAP INFLUENCE

ANIMATION OF FINAL GENERATIVE RUNNER

RENDER OF FORM DEVELOPED FROM APPLIED PRESSURE MAP DATA

FIELD-DRIVEN
LATTICES

Growth of structure guided by pressure map values.

Gathered values impose greater evolution
in regions of higher impact load.

Shaping a framework of beams in both
regional density and resulting thickness.

EVOLUTION FROM INITAL DATA POINTS TO GENERATED STRUCTURE

FOOTAGE TAKEN AT THE UNIVERSITY OF MASSACHUSETTS BIOMECHANICS AND LOCOMOTION LAB

BIOMECHANIC
ADAPTION

Collection of data points through
motion capture cameras and force plates.

100g of mass added per shoe increases metabolic rate by 1%,
translating to a 1% reduction in running velocity.

Intention in construction minimizes material
while enhancing function.
