(n)certainties – Columbia – Fall 2008

babel – study of living pocket

typ. unit study

study for model-

two units intersecting – substrate scale – porosity + density – life pocket

skin study – texture from secretion

unit stacking with neighbors

study of secretion along various trajectory

secretion of life pocket possibility and scale study

study of merging and life pocket possibility

snapping – connection between several

density + cell structure study : triangulation

density + structure studies

topology + material

the new trajectory builds up units one at a time responding and respecting the previous units

stacking studies + relationships

study01 :

generating a random array of points within a specified volume (in this case the space between two ellipsoides).

+

connecting the points with a continuous line/trajectory.

study 02:

applying the same process to a family of original points (8).

next step is to look at relationship between original points, order of process, and ellipsoid scale relative/in response to neighbor.
