Biodiversity
Assignment: Visualise of biodiversity
For this assignment, I started researching micro-organisms but switched to fungi. In my research I took a special interest in researching the relationships between fungi and mushrooms have with their environments and the requirements needed for them to grow. Following this, I went to a park and looked at the mushrooms that were growing in the park. Afterwards I researched the growth conditions of those mushrooms.
I then used these growth conditions to adjust parameters in a generative script in grasshopper (a plug-in for Rhino). I used the output of this script to generate different park benches. The aim was to place these benches in places where those mushrooms grow.
During this time, I did a lot of research on micro-organisms and fungi, and learned how to combine different types of research methodes. I also learned to work with Rhino and Grasshopper and new ways of data visualisation.
