structure: how to support the strips

 

bracing top, perspective, side (with strips)

scale

 

tower = 120m, squat tower = 50m, smallest mushroom = 20m

site strategy: deforming the grid

 circulation in cathedral, site with nodes of disruption, proposed circulation on site

connecting via delamination

taxonomy

cell_04: connections + inhabitation

latest cell group inhabiting an earlier cell



another connection option (continuing from previous post)

cell_04: proliferation + moving towards organ?

top view: cell type 01- simpler cell for proliferation



top view: introduction of cell type 02



top view: inner tubes as connector


side view: inner tube connecting two cell types



connectivity option 01: single strand



connectivity option 02: multiple strands



connectivity option 02 detail
- ideally would be thinner, more threadbare but could have structural role
- also, could wrap around inner tubes
- this "organ" or more complex group of cells may eventually inhabit the openings of earlier cells or grow off of a different group of cells, etc.
