Beginning to develop a rule set for the rock-like aggregations. Looking at rocks as precedents, We're beginning to think of small deformations and transformations that occur between individual rocks, which overall look similar. These slight deformations between components are what cause interested voids when aggregating.
For this particular aggregation, the component was rotated in four different directions at five specific angles, and then, as a set of 20, scaled at 4 different scales. These 80 different components are the only choices for the otherwise random aggregation.
For this aggregation type, it was the goal to imitate how rocks aggregate naturally.
Rules:
1) Every rock moves downward (like gravity) until hits a barrier (another rock in the way).
2) Major voids are filled by smaller components
3) Smaller rocks, as in nature, fall to the bottom, and fill cracks between bigger components.
4) A degree of randomness is desired.
5) Possible rule regarding bridging between components (possibility of structural cores, corridors, or connections occurring where rocks touch.
The idea is that some structural "glue" or "other" type of space may begin to occupy the void spaces between components, acting as the "glue" that holds the individual components together into its larger global form (as yet undecided). This space may have a different program, or simply be expressed with a different materiality, differentiating between the more organic rock-like components and the glue void space.
