GENERATIVE
RUNNER

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

RENDER OF FORM DEVELOPED FROM PRESSURE MAP DATA

ANIMATIONS OF FINAL GENERATIVE RUNNER

FOOTAGE OF UNDERFOOT STRUCTURE AFTER APPLIED PRESSURE MAP

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.

IMAGE SHOWCASING THE EVOLUTION FROM DATA POINT TO GENERATED STRUCTURE

FOOTAGE TAKEN AT THE UNIVERSITY OF MASSACHUSETTS BIOMECHANICS AND LOCOMOTION LAB

DEPICATION OF STRUCTURAL MODIFICATIONS FROM APPLIED PRESSURE MAP

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.
