*Form-finding

Starting from a simple triangular geometry, the surface is found rather than drawn. Mesh relaxation, mirrored quad panels and Kangaroo Physics simulations let the geometry settle into a continuous minimal surface — one that holds its shape because of how it is relaxed, not because it was modelled that way.

Once the unit resolves, it aggregates. The result is a smooth spatial lattice capable of variation and, with the panelisation resolved, of fabrication.
