Cancellous Pavilion The pavilion was inspired by the genre of biomimicry design, which approaches design by mimicking some of the patterns, strategies and structural solution taking place in nature. The project investigates development process and spacial qualities of cancellous bone, one of the bone tissues located in long bone. The project is an experiment: a research project investigating how architectural spaces might be conceived and design using generative design methods resembling natural process. In this experiment, materiality also plays a big role, the porous texture of the casted material makes the structure much lighter and provides unique experiences, making the project seems grown there then built.

Endochondral ossification
Endochondral ossification occurs in long bones and most other bones in the body; it involves the development of bone from cartilage. The following steps are followed in the conversion of cartilage to bone: Step 1: Zone of reserve cartilage. This region, farthest from the marrow cavity, consists of typical hyaline cartilage that as yet shows no sign of transforming into bone. Step 2: Zone of cell proliferation. A little closer to the marrow cavity, chondrocytes multiply and arrange themselves into longitudinal columns of flattened lacunae. Step 3: Zone of cell hypertrophy. Next, the chondrocytes cease to divide and begin to hypertrophy (enlarge), much like they do in the primary ossification center of the fetus. The walls of the matrix between lacunae become very thin. Step 4: Zone of calcification. Minerals are deposited in the matrix between the columns of lacunae and calcify the cartilage. These are not the permanent mineral deposits of bone, but only a temporary support for the cartilage that would otherwise soon be weakened by the breakdown of the enlarged lacunae. Step 5 & 6: Zone of bone deposition. Within each column, the walls between the lacunae break down and the chondrocytes die. This converts each column into a longitudinal channel, which is immediately invaded by blood vessels and marrow from the marrow cavity. Osteoblasts line up along the walls of these channels and begin depositing concentric lamellae of matrix, while osteoclasts dissolve the temporarily calcified cartilage.

Chemical A
Chemical B
A simulation of two virtual chemicals reacting and diffusing on a 2D grid using the Gray-Scott model.
Both chemicals diffuse so uneven concentrations spread out across the grid, but A diffuses faster than B.
Reaction: two Bs convert an A into B, as if B reproduces using A as food.
Chemical A is added at a given “feed” rate.Chemical B is removed at a given “kill” rate.
Reaction Diffusion Reaction diffusion systems are mathematical models which correspond to several physical phenomena: the most common is the change in space and time of the concentration of one or more chemical substances: local chemical reactions in which the substances are transformed into each other, and diffusion which causes the substances to spread out over a surface in space.The system can describe dynamical processes of natural processes in biology, geology and physics.
