Preliminary site analysis. Lafayette St. & Bond St, New York, NY.
Upon visiting the site, I was particularly intrigued by traffic swarms, human 'swarms' and the vastly differing facades.



05

A rule-set for e-coli behavioral patterns, based on further analyzation of previous research and 3D form studies.

04

Taking the basic patterns created by e-coli swarms into consideration, and creating a 3D form through a series of connections and transformations in density.








03


Experimenting with patterns based off of e-coli behavior.
