Geosphere
Geosphere is designed to create an immersive display that transcends traditional boundaries using computation design and robotic fabrication. It invites individuals to explore and appreciate nature’s resources in conjunction with human intelligence, to be inspired and to appreciate its potential.
Geosphere uses the latest in digital technology to fabricate and populate new hexagonal and polygonal patterns previously too difficult to realize without the proper technology. On the exterior, visitors can see how the form-factors generated are dependent on the connections between each of the reciprocal frame members. A reciprocal frame is a grid of linear members simultaneously supported by their neighbouring members, structurally interdependent resulting in a structural hierarchy of equal importance. Red fluorescent UV reactive paint is applied to all members, creating a staking visual that illustrates the interconnected structure.
