SPbranching expands Otto’s procedure into a richer spectrum of performance, introducing interactivity between the dynamics of a material behaviour and the attributes of the organization it engenders. This is achieved through the breeding of responsive mechanisms within the branching pattern, releasing its excess from an economy of optimization and directing its redundancy before it is enveloped in a formal essence. The system follows and manages structural gradients and turns their exuberance into a consistent resource of expression.

SPbranching operates as a mechanism that integrates nuances in a three-dimensional tectonic matrix. This matrix is responsive to weight through the absorption of vertical forces in a laterally restrained distortion, which operates as a sort of material inertia of the geometry, thus becoming neither rigidly imposed nor passive in respect to forces. A differentiated grid works as the datum of reference of the construction and the organization. Density, regularity, and flatness are therefore both organizationally open and structurally responsive.
