The goal was to encapsulate “synthesis” into a temporary, inhabitable shelter. Unification centralizes around the natural synthetic process of transformation— a state of becoming, interchangeability. Our geometric form harnesses the ability to change and adapt for multipurpose uses, a versatility capable for any environment and connotation.
The concept of biomimicry inspired this form, deriving from naturally-occurring hexagonal patterns and their stabilities, from molecular contexts to physical constructions. We desired purposeful modularity with the aesthetic of a clean, comprehensible design; the simplicity serves for a straightforward execution, and therefore capable of easy reproduction.
