Generative design of a bio-dome structure protecting native animal and plant species set in 2072, where pollution and urban densification have destroyed the natural habitat of Shelly Bay.
Two sanctuaries nestled into the densified urban fabric of Shelly Bay. The two spaces are linked by a central plant room which purifies air and ventilates this into either dome.
The densely vegetated spaces become a new home for native animal and plant species, protected from pollution and urban densification.
Initial physical exploration tested parameters of twisting hair and causing it to coil.
This was then translated into a digital format. The final form developed from a growth simulation in Grasshopper which was applied against the Shelly Bay site to produce a unique form. which was then tessellated to create the bio-dome structure.
