The Arcoles
The project dives into series of members making families for aggregation with arc geometries reimagining the classical shape blended with hanging terraces to form the growing architecture embedded with a massive floating space.

Selective aggregation 2.0.1
Random growth until 50 iterations
Afterwards checking Areas with 12 or more voxels to limit the growth
