Shifting scale

Looking at different scales of patterns in our presence, there is compelling evidence that shows that the movements and even the structures of bodies are very similar. From the structures of bones, worm patterns on tree branches to even the movement of our machines when man is in control of his path. The movements meander just the same as water follows the path of least resistance. I find myself unable to withdraw from this phenomenon that is present before us and even within us.

The latex that I have been using to cast the surfaces has projected these details in various sizes. Each time the skin pods are inflated, the details change in size and project a more intimate interaction with the object. It was interesting to see my cousins, who at first were laughing at my work, would actually pick up the pods and inflate them after I turned my back, unable to resist interacting with the material even though they found the texture grotesque at first.

It would be interesting to see how an architecture could work where the user has to establish the structure of his setting in some way. Like pitching a tent for a place to sleep, the pods can act in similar ways in building temporary structures and perhaps the trees can act as supports! Perhaps it could lead to a new way of building permanent structures... but than the question can continue with 'what are permanent structures?' and 'what do foundations mean in building permanent structure?'
