Serenity Retreat

The exploration began with form-finding techniques utilizing soap bubbles, followed by dynamic mesh relaxation and subsequent light simulation. Following these preliminary explorations and case studies, participants embarked on designing a meditation and relaxation space. Constructed primarily from ferroconcrete, the structure's shape emerged through dynamic mesh relaxation. The final segment entailed a design-and-build project, wherein a small structure was conceived based on minimal surfaces and topology optimization.
