Abstract
The project is an exploration on aperiodic spatial tiling as for its capacity to be used as a form generator. A responsive system is developed and studied, in order to deliver varying densities of tetrahedral tiles that compose the space frame structure produced. The method is a study on the Danzer packing, and provides a process for the adaptive growth of the packing, considering potential implementations in the architectural and the sculptural scale. The growth of the mathematical formula to produce the tiling is constrained and influenced by the introduction of a simulated visual environment that results in the production of emergent forms. The produced tilings are assessed as for their capacity to respond to the stimulus, by producing a gradation of scales of tetrahedral tiles, as a response to environmental or spatial constrains. Issues of perception and articulation of hierarchical emergent space are raised, and are approached through two different connectivity patterns, the tetrahedral tiling and its dual centroid connectivity of adjacent tetrahedral.
