LO week 3 Troche

I ended up coming across Christan Troche’s Radiolaria Project. The project was intended to rethink architectural design, but I think it can also be stretched to environments design because of how it changes the feeling of the space that the Structural Tessellation is in. I think it is cool to see people creating things based on nature.Troche explains that its design is based on the skeletons of radiolarians. Troche most likely used generated forms for the individual nodes. Because this project is based on something organic, the skeleton, I would imagine that he had many elements of his computation obey flocking behavior. What I find especially cool is how the form supports itself and can transform its shape.
