This is Serpentine Gallery Pavilion 2002 by Toyo Ito and Cecil Balmond. The structure is constructed based on algorithm of a cube, providing a geometrical pattern. Then Ito and Balmond re-interpreted the pattern, considering the function and spatial structure. I am instrigued by the combination of an individual design intention and the quantitative and qualitative computer generated data, create such beautiful structure. I am interested in the design process interrelate with the new tool: computer generated data. How computer generated data influence the design and how design process affect the how the computer data was generated and analyzed. Moreover, I am interested in the possibilities of applying algorithms inspired by natural process, translating numbers into computational patterns, to sculpture, and to living space. I love seeing living space integrated back to nature, which is where everything begin with.
