Strategic Stagnation

This project integrates computer tools, architectural design, and material manipulation to craft intricate structures. Beginning with sketches and clay models, it progresses to employing machinery and specialized software such as Galapagos in Grasshopper, enabling the creation of detailed shapes. The process involves experimentation with various concepts, forming foundational shapes, and studying growth dynamics. Diverse connections between shapes demonstrate their adaptable nature. Utilizing clay involves and employing it for aggregation, which can then be transformed into a facade system.
