1 Growth Model
1.1 Natural
1.1.4 Expand your image collection. Fine-tune your taxonomy. Specify a set of privileged terms that best describe the morphological and tectonic qualities you have identified in your collection. Informed by your image collection start gathering specimens for your first SEM lab visit. 1.1.5 Improve the drafted 'autopsy' based on the feedback you have received today. In a next generation of drawings (minimum of 3) establish the natural models’ pattern-building capacities, as well as the spectrum of gradual cellular change (scale, proportion) within a given field.
2 Assembly Model
2.1 Paper
2.1.1 From your drafted ‘autopsy’ derive laser-cutting templates (minimum of 3). Prepare as line drawing a field of continuity and gradual cellular change (scale, proportion). Consider translating line-types (continuous, dashed) into scoring and cutting lines. 2.1.2 Three different raw materials emerge from your first laser-cutting session. When exposed to pressures they reveal specific material properties. Manipulate the material and identify these properties.
Compare the SEM source material with the corresponding paper models. Some aspect of your natural models have been enhanced through the process of drawing and cutting, others have vanished.
