Description
The project aims to illustrate a surreal living environment by using cellular automata algorithms, the living unit is creating by the mesh subdivision methods. Mesh subdivision allows us to apply complicity and controllable details onto the geometries. With this advantage there are three categories of cubic units representing structural, expending and organic living units. The idea is inspired by the photography “Dense Buildings” by Michael Wolf which shows the repetitiveness and organic feature of Hong Kong city.
