A style of architecture characterized by curved, blob-like forms and smooth, flowing surfaces that reject traditional geometric shapes. These buildings often resemble organic or liquid forms and are made possible by advanced computer modeling and construction techniques.
A portmanteau of 'blob' and 'architecture,' coined in the early 2000s as digital design tools enabled architects to create complex curved forms. The term initially carried some negative connotations but has been embraced by practitioners of fluid architecture.
