In this project we try to analyze a bottom-up phenomenon in natural environment. Through physical experiment and digital imitation, we abstract it into a clear and controllable digital model. From continuous experiment and analysis of the material and structure, we use this data to do some scheme designs and detail designs of a self-stabilized installation with flexible material.
