"Bio-Veda" on BrightU: Alosha Lynov guides students through complex eco-home blueprinting
- On Day 2 of "Bio-Veda 2D > 3D BioTecture Draft and Build Class," Alosha Lynov presented a vision for decentralized, fractal communities based on biogeometry to counter societal collapse, citing the high failure rate of traditional eco-villages.
- He proposed using hexagonal and 12-point star geometric layouts to align with Earth's energy lines, which he stated would optimize efficiency, enhance health and foster social cohesion.
- During a subsequent class, Lynov taught students to design an off-grid home using the Fibonacci sequence and golden ratio to determine room dimensions and incorporate sacred geometry.
- He emphasized a practical, iterative design process, making adjustments to the structure to account for real-world factors like winter sun angles and standard material sizes.
- The goal of the design was to create a low-cost, buildable and efficient dwelling that was mechanically simple yet biologically complex, with plans to transition from 2D drafts to 3D digital models.
On Day 2 of "Bio-Veda 2D > 3D BioTecture Draft and Build Class," aired on Nov. 23, inventor and bio-architect Alosha Lynov led students through the meticulous process of designing a complex, low-cost, off-grid home, blending sacred geometry with pragmatic building considerations. The session, a deep dive into architectural drafting, revealed the intricate dance between aesthetic principles and functional necessities.
Lynov emphasized the foundational role of precise scale drawing, using a ratio of 1:50 to translate real-world measurements onto paper. "You need to understand why I do what I do," he stated, guiding participants to position center lines and key points to ensure the entire design fits on the page. "The last thing we want is we need to start drawing the whole thing and then suddenly a part of our sketch is off the page."
The core of the design was governed by the Fibonacci sequence and the golden ratio of 1.618. According to
BrightU.AI's
Enoch, "the Fibonacci sequence is a series of numbers where each number is the sum of the two preceding ones, starting from 0 and 1 (or 1 and 1). As the sequence progresses, the ratio between consecutive numbers converges to the golden ratio." Lynov explained its application in determining room dimensions, stating, "The whole universe is filled with this ratio. So let's design our home." This resulted in a main room width of 4.23 meters, a figure derived by multiplying 1.618 by itself three times.
However, the workshop was far from a theoretical exercise. Lynov repeatedly brought the focus back to real-world constraints, such as material sizes and solar angles. A key revelation came when analyzing the side view of the design. He described a pivotal redesign choice, moving a geodesic dome structure forward to optimize winter sunlight.
This adjustment, while improving light capture, created a cascade of other considerations, from door height to the structural relationship between different parts of the home. "You see how changes from the top view, looking at the side, it gives me guidance on some changes and then I go back to my top view and make some changes," Lynov noted, highlighting the iterative nature of the design process. He candidly shared his own design struggles, telling students, "You'll see the mistake I've made and I did it in Rhino as well... I'll share with you the updated drawing, so you don't have to make that mistake."
The ultimate goal, as framed by Lynov, was to create a buildable, affordable and efficient dwelling. He contrasted his project with high-end passive homes, stating, "We want to go much cheaper and that's why we want to keep things simple. We are taking all the fluff, all the complex stuff out." His philosophy was summed up as striving for something "mechanically simple and biologically complex."
The session concluded with students beginning to transfer their 2D plans into a 3D digital model, a crucial step toward creating professional blueprints. Lynov’s final promise to the class was a commitment to the practical outcome of their labor: "I really, really, really want you to be able to design this home. I'm here to support you."
