Digital Explorations

One admires nature for its symmetry but also for its unexpected geometries. The following iterations demonstrate how a variety of species can emerge from a parent species. The use of the software Grasshopper allows an efficient transformation from one pattern to another and alludes to the instant morphing of genealogy ...in nature.

The script is designed to alter the base’s height, number of petals and their shape simply by changing parameters. Subtle changes in the script’s parameters can create complex geometries. Comparing the various configurations of the abstracted flowers shows distinct differences, but a closer analysis of their form reveals similarities linking them back to the parent species.
