Design Reference – Architectural Precedent
Project: The Core (Education Centre), Eden Project.
Architect: Grimshaw Architects
Logic: The roof geometry is derived from the phyllotaxis found in plants. It utilizes two opposing sets of spirals to define a grid of structural nodes.
This pattern allows for an efficient distribution of structural members over a complex curved surface, ensuring uniform load paths while minimizing material waste.
Logic
Inference: Abstraction of the generative growth law (137.5°) to define the pavilion’s footprint and geometry
From the inferences of the growth logic from the Eden project, the intention is to create a vortex that grows along the ground plane rather than a flat dome.
