Design Concept
Concept | Horseshoe Crab–Inspired Lattice Shell
Inspired by the exoskeleton of horseshoe crabs and the ITECH Research Pavilion 2024, this project explores a biomimetic lattice shell structure supported by discrete legs. 

A continuous triangulated shell distributes loads efficiently across its surface, transferring forces to the ground through optimized supports. 

The parametrically generated lattice expresses structural performance, integrating form, structure, and material efficiency into a unified architectural system.
