1.1 Randomness - Tower

Pattern Development For the tower design, the pattern is expected to extend linearly along one direction. The verticality is the essence. A set of Golden Rectangular geometry is selected to fit with the geometrical character of the tower. The research explores a few simple rules of transformations as mirroring, copying, and scaling along the vertical direction, allowing the pattern to be varied in size, orientation, and relative position. And a high level of randomness can be achieved with controllable rulesets. Technique Besides, the research also interests in the way to extract data and approach to amplify the randomness. The data be sorted with shared traits. For example, after the combination of the rules, all squares that are not split can be extracted and joint as one specific material. The density of the pattern can be changed by easily choosing every second square. By extending the edges of all squares and rectangles, an irregular grid can be established. As shown in the Sheung Wan Hotel in Hong Kong, I see the potential of using the same technique of pushing and pulling selected square boxes with varied depth. The others can be engraved upon the surface material. This technique will be applied in the latter proposal.
