A set of generative algorithms based on elements of nature

With the development of modern society and ideology, modern industrial production and financial capital have created excessive consumption, inequality, climate change, the natural environment, and even the decline of society itself. As an important part of production and consumption, design needs to switch its focus on sustainability.

This graduation project produces a series of parametric programs, which simulate and generate various forms and structures existing in nature through programs, show them through programmatic interaction, and the mathematical principles and processes therein, so as to better understand nature. This series of libraries takes nature-related data parameters as input and outputs a series of images, animations, and 3D models generated based on natural logic, allowing users to explore how relevant natural structures work. At present, a web page display is provided as an interactive prototype, and this interface can use the environmental data received by the sensor as input to realize the interaction with the real environment.
