Bottom-up



The following process attempted to treat the pattern with individual parts that would make up a field condition. The various shades of each component would be reflected by a series of sections that would appear dense in the darker areas of the pattern, and sparse in those which were lighter. In addition to this, the various heights along each section were derived from the shade of the pattern below. Again darker shades represented taller areas of the section and vice versa.

A series of individual sections which follow this simple rule, created an overall field condition that could be applied to the site.

A global behaviour was created out of the rules of individual parts:



It was observed from this model, that various parts of the pattern became connected through the sparse nature of the strips in local spaces. In contrast other areas became heavily congested with strips, and various heights began to merge together as one whole.



The pattern became moderately visible in the finished model, appearing to be more eroded away and distorted than what was seen in the original sharp triangulated forms of the individual units.
