The first look at program, considering the traditional library scheme. Divided between age groups and private/public spaces. Then diagramming the supposed circulation, based on the outward movement of the e-coli swarm. Through further study of the relationships in program, I began to develop a structural section where program is joined.

Experimenting with skin & structure modules on the site envelope and interior space.


11

Mapping the 'e-coli basic unit patterns' over site analysis information, to create a new layered system of patterns. Then, picking a reoccurring module and a series of connections between them to fabricate larger patterns for skin and structural manipulation.
