              PolyMorph was conceived through a strong desire to create an affective environment through digital fabrication and a repetitive, tessellated matrix. Through the extrusion of a single component, seven variations emerged showing tessellation and variation simultaneously.  While an immense number of solutions were possible through this process, a desire for variation led to a gradation pattern that emphasized the dual-sided nature of the material.  The faceted form of the components interacts with the applied light to give the appearance of movement as one passes through the walking space.

                One cut sheet produced all seven components that constitute one block.  The blocks were then flipped on end to give the piece an undulated pattern towards the appearance of movement.  A simple zip-tie connection detail allowed the pieces to be joined together within the tolerances of the material.  To achieve gradation of reflectivity, components were flipped increasingly until the matrix was reversed. 

                The outcome of the research was a separation between cause and visual effect.  The installation evokes a mood of calm and adds an immense amount of interest to a otherwise sterile breezeway.
