Fig 1. Drawing of the Morning Line Project
The Morning Line is a project which conceived as a collaborative platform to explore the interplay of architecture, art, cosmology and music. The Morning Line is formed by intertwining lines connecting to each other. The structure has no single beginning or end, only movements around multiple centers. Each bit of the structure is interchangeable, demountable, portable and recyclable which allows the piece to change over time.
Making the fractal structure by grasshopper, I scaled different shapes of geometry by a series of times in different order. The plugin of Bullant was used for finding the geometry of joining fractal units. Patterns on the surfaces and patterns in the space were drew based on the geometry of fractals. The patterns replaced the original geometry and made the entire geometry joinable.

To join the units together, I used Bullant to create a series of different fractals joining together, and then I drew curves and surfaces to select the joining units randomly. I also bake the Bullant fractals and delected parts of them in rhino to create the geometry.

onvert the loft surface into Mesh. Use Mesh Surface to generate the numbers of U, V values. mesh edges as Spring and the rest length. Set the Mesh vertices on the Voronoi edges to be or points. Use Kangaroo to create the tensile structure.
elect the discontinuity points of the Voronoi edges to be the Anchor point, so that the units connected by the common points.
