The natural algorithm. A formula to explain shapes, speeds, and behaviors of pigmentation. Process calls for multiple “agents” in the reaction and generates equal spaces. Once we controlled the algorithm, I began to use it as a design tool. The experiment was about rethinking what a skyscraper is. Does it have to be confined to slab and open office spaces?
