I am looking at the project “PolyForm” constructed by Cornell University. What
What I admire about this project is its ability to achieve organic shapes through
the repetition of somewhat geometric surfaces. I really like the modular system
of using the same geometric logic and through repetition, creating something
complex and organic. What is also really like is that the structure seems to
be enclosed in a transparent box, an illusion created by the glass walls
around the structure, making the piece latch onto a surface.

I suppose the algorithm works by initially creating a geometric pattern that
mimics the patterns of nano-leveled cellular structure and creates a system
through parametric generation to achieve the ideal density of the material and
empty spaces in the project to generate the form. Then the structure would be

The project is a collaboration between the school of architecture and the
college of human ecology within the university, thus it is apparent the
creators would have a higher appreciation of biomimicry structure. The
creators have supported this idea where they claim the concept is to bridge
the nanoscale to the human scale.
