Symbiote explores live physics simulation through the Grasshopper plug-in, Kangaroo, as a main engine. The project is to build a simple geometry where the user can interact with the inputs such as attractors, sliders, functions and time to transform it to a more complicated object in space.

​

With the aid of interactive physics simulations, the digital materiality and real-life behavior acts as a form finding protocol. It starts as a simple mesh geometry that is brought into a space where it can be easily modified. Then the set of behaviors are defined in the base geometry is deformed. The deformations can be analyzed based on data visualization. As a result, the forms are recorded based on the optimal structure.
