han tang : amethyst by han tang from china

this project is based on the polymorphism of crystalline formation. the most interesting part in crystal is that a single module can aggregates (or subdivides) to form a very complex geometry by a large number of population. every module acts as micro-environments serving simultaneously continually updating the global formation. local hierarchies begin to develop, while an overall coherence and continuity is maintained.

the component logic of this space is polyscalar: self-similar algorithmic tiles operate across scales to form a continuous tectonic, where the legibility of discrete tectonic hierarchies dissolve. through this disintegration of hierarchy a new set of intensive affects emerge.
