“Manuel A. Báez is an Associate Professor at Carleton University, Azrieli School of Architecture and Urbanism, where he is also the Coordinator of Crossings Inerdisciplinary Research and the Director of the Carleton De-Formation Research Unit. Previously, he worked and practiced in New York City while teaching at the Architecture Schools at The Cooper Union for the Advancement of Science and Art and the Rhode Island School of Design.
His work as an architect, artist and researcher draws inspiration from the generative potential of the forms, structures and integrative systems generated by elemental processes that exist throughout the natural environment. His educational concerns, interests and objectives are focused on the development of teaching methods and procedures derived from the research.”
Below are some images of his work, students work and his TED lecture. He explores the “malleability of weaved bamboo cells assembled as a fabric” and produces beautiful thin and delicate generative structures.

Emergent patterns are revealed as one walks around the installation or, as shown in Fig. 2, as one looks at the reflected ceiling. Fabrication from membrane assembled with square cellular units.

Very interesting talk!
I also found in this article http://www.miqel.com/jazz_music_heart/vibrational-truth.html (see image of 3d standing waves)
that Buckminster Fuller and Hans Jenny (founder of Cymatics) created 3d standing waves by dipping a balloon in dye and pulsed it with sine wave frequencies. The nodal patterns formed across the balloon are platonic solids.
Four evenly spaces nodes form a tetrahedron.
Six evenly spaced nodes form an octahedron.
Eight evenly spaced nodes form a cube.
Twelve evenly spaced nodes form the icosahedron
Twenty evenly spaced nodes form the dodecahedron.
