Click the field to introduce another wave.

The field is a driver.

Neighbouring cells pass on an impulse. Their collective activity is smoothed into a continuous field.

Each ribbon follows one curve. Its nested leaves share that curve and twist, then open locally in response to the same field. They gather close together at the ends.

One façade field · 24 layered elements
No tile boundaries or fixed part catalogue.

02 The ribbon composition

Leaf spacing sets the base centre-to-centre distance; local opening adds a field-driven spread along each ribbon.

Press Run to evolve the field, or Step through one generation. Freeze the moment you want to keep.

01 / EMERGENCE

Waves from local rules.

One cellular field drives all 24 ribbon elements. A resting cell responds to an active neighbour, then recovers before it can respond again.

02 / EXPRESSION

A continuous interpretation.

A ribbon becomes a layered section: its leaves share a centreline and twist. The field changes their width and local opening, while the complete element stays clear of its neighbours.

03 / CAPTURE

One moment, one composition.

Freeze preserves all leaves inside every ribbon element. Element detail isolates one layered ribbon; export keeps each element and leaf identifiable. Connections and fabrication remain to be developed.
