Material: Tessellations

Fig 1 - Gneiss Metamorphic rock For this assignment I am focusing to explore the random patterns instead of a lattice style repetitive pattern as in the previos stage.

Fig 2 - Tesselated Pavement: Caloundra coastal wonders

Like the images above, the rhythm of the “lines” on this tessellated pavement formation offers an exciting visual and haptic experience. This pattern transferred into an architectural environment can provide the same experience of wonder as the original made by nature.

Access

0 1 2 5m Internal membrane can change opacity according to intensity of light (Photochromatic) the areas exposed to light become darker in the same fasion as transition lenses. Alternatively a heat responsive membrane (Thermochromatic) would became darker preventing solar gain in the interion during warm weather while allowing sun gain during cold weather.
