The project began by experimenting the interaction between wax and water. The structure so formed had a complex branching system that held the form together. They were studied by setting various constants and varying parameters. The frequently occurring branching system was identified and replicated using models to understand the wax structure. Simultaneously, a material system was devised through break wires and stretchable cloth. The branching system was replicated using these materials and a prototype model to create a surface was developed. The next level was achieved in the 9 X 9 X 9 m space design problem which was to be used as an art gallery. All the surfaces of the cube were considered to generate the same branching logic. The space created through generative design process gives a dynamic experience for its user and creates a good balance of strong and weak surfaces similar to wax structures.
