Blurred Borders
Blurred Borders is a tessellating facade experiment inspired by the structural intersections of sponges. The project, via the creation of homogeneous concrete tile, explores the obfuscation of the repeating
edge condition through two iterations. The first iteration is a two dimensional tile created by casting an original object into rubber. The rubber becomes a one part mold used to cast multiple flat, organic shapes that connect at intersecting border nodes.
The second iteration is a complex three dimensional tile that adds another variable to the node connection. In order to achieve a repeatable tile, the original object was cast as a two part mold.
The multiple fixed node connections on the boarder paired with the organic design on the interior of the tiles, create an object with seemingly infinite edge conditions.
