By mimicing the growth of barin coral, a simulation of minimal geometry of the space between the ridges and valley is emerged. We focused on surface analysis and utilizing the robotic cartography including robotic 3D scanning and high resolution macro video capturing with industrial robots to analyze topography and complexity of organic surface and reproduce a surface of brain coral. 

We first 3d scanned the brain coral, and extracted the geometry features, which was later on used as a guide of reversed pattern study. When the extraction was accomplished, it was cnc milled as a mdf negative mold, which was used to produce a concrete positive mold. Together with a PETG mold that we produced with the mdf mold, we assembled 2 sets of molds and produced multiple composite fabrication products to express the design concepts.
