︎ Parametric Wall (2020)
The initial idea behind the design of the Parametric Wall was inspired by the cause and effect of cracking ice. When ice is struck at a precise point, the result is a concentric cracking that originates from the point of impact. The size of the cracking is dependent on the force of impact. Translating this into the design approach, I aimed to create a sense of organized chaos. The seemingly random composition of the concentric patterns across the wall was formed by an algorithm that links the height of the ridges in the wall to the circumference of the patterns. Generative growth simulations determined where ridges would interject and divide the wall while surface analysis determined the height of the ridges and the general organization of the patterns.
Work was done at The Bartlett.
