Micro & Macro

The form aimed to adhere to the idea of micro and macro scales, and the relationship between them.

The tessellation system lends itself to this, as its singular geometry comes to define the whole through repetition.

ISOMETRIC The form appears to bend and grow out of the earth itself, and then bends upwards to hang in the sky.

This deliberate cycle from ground to sky was chosen to mimic the life cycle of the golden sun moth.

Wallaby grasses are to grow over the structure into the tessellated cavities to create an artificial habitation area for the golden sun moth to repopulate.

This relationship between the singular and the whole is again reminiscent of the moth due to its limited life cycle - designing for many over time rather than one.

At night, the structure is to be lit up from within, to emit light through its perforations and tessellations and attract the moths.
