This material is about exploring ways animal-like forms can be integrated to provide environmental comfort in arid areas. Taking inspiration from the geometry of the starfish, the growth of the coral, and construction of the swallow nest, as well as wet materials, like soil, that can dry out and harden over time, these modules allow for clustering to create climate comfort for a variety of species.
