Bionic Partition
It was designed by The Living, Airbus, AutoDesk, APWorks and Bastian Schaefer and architect: David Benjamin. It is dated 2016-ongoing. Its medium is partition structure, cover and cabin attendant seat; partition parts from the printer; touch sample; video. It is a part of the department.
Two nature-informed algorithms underlie the design and manufacturing of an essential airplane part: the partition separating the cabin from the galley. One mimics the growth of slime mold, an organism that efficiently connects disparate points; the other replicates the growth properties of mammal bones by removing mass where strength is not needed. The resulting partition is lightweight, strong, and made with very little waste.
