'NATURAL TESSELLATIONS"

Ballona Creek used to be lined with trees like sycamores, willows, and tules, flourishing with natural life. Over the years, the development of the area has caused life to subside, so contemporary attempts to revitalize the wetlands and offer outdoor activities like bike paths to humans were commenced.

The design of Natural Tessellations is “reaching towards the sky” which speculates on the human experience of nature to think about how we can encourage wildlife to flourish at the local site, from below the water to up into the sky. This project pertains to the study and propagation of research on oceanic and atmospheric climate change. The Climate Oceanographic Research and Education (CORE) lab offers education and exhibition to people, as well as refuge to wildlife in a changing environment.
