2. “Re-consider serial repetition through a framework of
combinatorics and graph theory, one in which we consider
geometry as a data structure for a plethora of design”
3. Design a building systems to carry information to control the
growth of plants, so that artificial geometry with emerging
plants will generate architectural spaces that are almost fluid.

Most plants grow between 6.5 to 7.5 in pH (measurement of hydrogen ion)
amount, while some plants prefer slightly acidic at the roots around 5.8-6.4. !
Different nutrients have different pH levels for
them to be efficiently absorbed by the plans:!

nitrogen 6.0 - 8.0!
phosphorous 6.5 - 7.5!
potassium >6.0!
calcium 7.0 – 8.5!

auxin hormone has tendency to move towards the shady
side of the plan, loosening up the cellulose in the cell
walls, stimulating the growth of the cell on that side

allowed by a perfectly packing geometry.

Multiple pipes to carry different essentials to the plants
Geometry that encapsulates more than two systems that do not touch each others to carry different information

unit design criteria
36. The unit is an instance of a vareigated circulation system that comprises of two
conduits, one which carries an oxygen and nutrient rich supply of fluids while
the other carries the deoxygenated fluid existing in the system.

Carrier
Distributes water and nutrients

Mister
Sprays water to plants
Water can be replaced with
electromagnetic waves to kill
Turner
Turns water and nutrients to
opposite direction
Carries water for Mister and electricity for
generating electromagnetic waves
Carries oxygenated water with pH/

42. Provide combinatory in gaming environment so that the system becomes an
open-ended architectural design that could integrate inputs from the people
43. The designer becomes a designer of generating systems – each able of
generating many objects – rather than the designer of individual objects.
