The Fifth Industrial Revolution: The End of Right Angles

The fourth industrial revolution speeds up what we already know how to do. The fifth flips the paradigm: bone-like shapes instead of right angles, design that starts from a goal, and objects formed by waves throughout their whole volume at once. In this video: why sharp corners are the weak spot of every structure, how bone puts material only where the forces flow, goal-driven and generative design, manufacturing by wave interference, carbon skeletons metallized by electroplating, recycling by simply reversing the process, and why all of this may be easier in zero gravity.
