Concept

Cosmic Congregations explores the potential of a single loop-based operation to create complex shapes. Operation – subdivision that splits face into smaller faces – is repeated several times and applied to a form. This process affects attributes such as degree of recursion, porosity, fractalization etc. and can be applied to different scales.
