Light Up
The Project Light Up began with an engrossing unit that simply resembles a hexagon which works perfectly as a three dimensional unit because of its convex structure. As we proceed by discovering the potentials of this unit, we came up with a system which was simply forming some kind of an arch by linking our unit up and down .Than by linking those archs we ended up having a monotone wall consisting of the same unit. That was the time we noticed that we should do a little bit of math and change the proportion of the unit. By making the unit smaller and smaller for six times by a specific ratio in every step we aimed to have an arc just like the meridians that we have on earth. By linking these new arcs in the same way we did before opened a gate to a whole new geometry which is the geometry discovered by Fibonacci. Finally by examining Fibocci Number and change our parameters according to this phenomenon we inevitably ended up having a cactus form.
