BASE GEOMETRY/ CONNECTION DIRECTION
Connection points placement incited density change The following two aggregation outcoems utilises the same base geometry. The study assumed an external and internal direction of an object base on its geometric quality. For instance, the long linear object has a distinct nob at one end that explores into the direction of y-axis, the area situated within the perpendicular angle are perceived as “internal“, and opposite direction became the “external.“ Through aggregation, the study hoped to depict a more fibrous, hollow and lightweight structure with external facing connection points, and a more densed structure with the opposite.
BASE GEOMETRY/ GROUPING
TRIPLE COMPONENT
DUAL COMPONENT
Base geometry duplication incited density change The following study investigates the change in formal outcome, incited by the grouping transformation of the base geometry. The variations of grouped component illustrates a decrease in porosity and fuzzy boundaries when quantity of grouped components increases.

LED LIGHT It maximizes production by using ground-breaking vertical farming lighting to light multiple layers of crops, achieving a higher yield with a smaller footprint. Farming in a controlled environment, whether a greenhouse or warehouse, has long enabled growers to manipulate lighting, temperature and water to boost yields. What LED lighting brings to the equation is a cooler and more energy-efficient way to optimize conditions than the high-pressure sodium (HPS) lamps traditionally found in greenhouses.
