Using the growth of plants as a anal-ogy, through repetition of one single unit which transforms with scale and density to represent grow of the city.Material will represnet the impact of time and which complete the life cycle of the sculpture.

By studying the trend of growth of Wynd-ham City the form is used to to reflect city growth. The trend is a factor of the scale and the lines represent directions.Several minerals structure are tested as mineral can represent growth in a geo-metrical pattern while gives complex looking shape. Kaolinite is selected to inspire the structure of the base unit.

The structure will be supported by pile foot-ings.While smaller units can be prefabricated and transported to site, the structure can be trans-ported in panals and assemble on site. Soil can be use to fill the pocket to allow growth of wild plants.

Once constructed, nature will start to reclaim the place and this is allowed. Metals will change its colour due to oxidation and will eventually dissap-pear due to chemical reaction, before that plants and animal will occupy the sculpture. The changes represent the concept of growth and the power of nature.
