Box morph 1
TRANSPARENCY INTERACTIVE SUBTLETY
The
repeated
pyramid
shapes
give
the geometry a very sharp profile. By inverting the structure upside down, I tend to create a very tension and almost dangerous
experience
underneath.
However, the surface is not permeable at all. The idea of spatial partition would be too strong. Nonetheless, the trigulated geometry is easier to fabricate.

Box morph 2
TRANSPARENCY INTERACTIVE SUBTLETY
The double curved surface is made of hollow cylindrical geometries. The smaller components mapped on the surface have varying scales, which also becomes a visual presentation of the tangential lines of the surface. If the structure is rotated to become a wall, it would be highly transparent with human eye levels. It would form a very subtle approach which allows communication between two sides of the walls.

Box morph Random
Compare to the previous iteration, this one seems to be more unpredictable with hexagonal shapes extruding both directions with different length. The shape is also more dynamic and organic. Transparency in this case is also variable with different positions and heights. The extruded volumes allows some part of the wall to be transparent while the other parts are completely opaque.

TRANSPARENCY INTERACTIVE SUBTLETY
The wall is made of boxes with different sizes.
The
boxes
are
shifting
both
inwards and outwards. Some boxes is removed from the grid to achieve some permeability.
The
zigzagging
boxes
have the potential to display or store something, even grow plants.

Box morph Cull Pattern Attractor Point
There are two sets of boxes in the structure. One set stay in position, and the other set rotate along the centroid of each box. The rotation angles are set according to an attractor point. When the attractor point move from left of the wall to the right, it creates a weave of boxes on the wall. The structure has the potential to become highly communicative and responsive to the surroundings and the users. The transparency it creates is also different from previous iterations. The transparency here is not generated through the shape of each small
