Kanuka Influence
FOREST
With its hard exterior and tall trunk the Kanuka tree has the expetional ability to protect and give life to flora and fauna around it within a certain radius depending on age and size
REGENERATION
The ongoing cycle of the Kanuka’s life begins with protecting those around it until it is outgrown. The canopy then breaks down providing seedlings or saplings of other species to come through.
The kanuka’s ability to affect plants around it is shown in the diagram above In a collection of Kanuka’s in one are a ripple effect is created and the effected area’s overlap
The tree acts as a resource for plants around it making new life possible. Aerial Representation
This ripple effect creates different density effectivness in certain areas thus causing more growth and higher tolerance to the elements

2-Dimensional Wall Iterations and Analysis |The first pattern is simpley a linear module replicated over a grid series to form a wall of 7m long by 2m wide|
|The second iteration involves a horizontal shift of each row of modules. The red square indicates the movement of the pattern|
|This iteration is similar to the the one above as it involves a shift however this time it is in the vertical direction. As shown by the red square the movement can be tracked|
|By slightly enlarging and overlapping the square modules a different pattern is created|
|Using scale to depict movement showing flow from one side to the other|
|Using a similar pattern and exploring density to create a sense of a ripple effect|
Initial Pattern
Horizontal Shift
Vertical Shift
Overlapping
Scale
Density |Repeating the module within itself creating a pyramid effect and enhancing the ripple effect through density|
|A vertical shift from the previous iteration slightly changes the pattern to create dense areas in the centre of the wall|
|The first pattern is simpley a linear module replicated over a grid series to form a wall of 7m long by 2m wide|
|Increase the density of modules by decreasing their size. This effectively creates a more complex pattern showing more flow|
Pyramid Effect
Vertical Shift
Horizontal Shift
Increase Density |This iteration shows the modules shifted towards each other creating more dense areas near the centre of the wall with less dense spots on the outside|
Shift Together
|The final iteration Shows the dense area’s shifted to create a greater ripple effect and movement even in a 2-D pattern|
