Growing Objects

The exhibition “Growing Objects,” designed by Jessica Rosencrantz in 2014, replicates natural growth processes using simulations and 3D printed sculptures. The piece is very effective at replicating the structural patterns in nature. I admire the complexity and accuracy of the work.

The algorithm used to generate these works of art are made by using scientific theories and models of natural pattern formation. It is very successful in allowing viewers to visualize the complex growth processes that occur in nature. The project also aims to encourage viewers to think about new ways that design and growth can influence the environment in the future.
