CHASING THE SUN
A NEVER ENDING BLOOM
THESIS
How can biomimetic processes feed parametric inputs to enhance architecture?
I am proposing a framework of botanical data within architecture, showing that mathematical modeling can enhance movement, like that of the sunflower in order to host regeneration.
