This project is a explores the behavioural characteristics of crystallisation and exhibits the structural capabilities in the reinforcement of a structure. The design surrounds prefabricated elements that alone are not robust enough to support additional weight but with the slow accumulation of crystals, the structure is hardened and encased in a protective skin. I utilised the micro characteristics to imbue the large scale project with the ornamental qualities of crystallisation.
Through script and form experimentations I attempted to embody a large scale structure with these behavioural and aesthetic qualities. Beginning with the spawn points for the script in the form of patterns produced through physical experimentation and continuing through the Culebra script, emulating the behavioural growth of nucleation and crystal growth.
