Building on these studies, the elective then explored how natural growth patterns could inform the design of a kinetic architectural system. Using the golden spiral as a starting point, the study focused on developing a transformable module capable of expanding and contracting while maintaining a consistent geometric relationship throughout its movement. The form was derived from the geometry of the golden spiral, a pattern frequently observed in nature. By rotating and repeating the spiral around a fixed axis, a circular arrangement was generated that could condense inward and reduce its footprint while retaining its overall form. This process established the geometric logic that guided the development of the module. Iterations were carried out to refine the geometry and understand the relationship between the number of segments, module size, and depth. Different polygonal configurations were tested before arriving at a final mesh geometry that balanced movement, structural performance, and spatial efficiency while maintaining a continuous spiral expression.

A series of physical prototypes were developed to explore both the form and mechanism of the kinetic module. Through iterative model-making, students tested different geometries, folding patterns, and movement systems to understand how the structure could expand and contract. These hands-on experiments provided valuable insights into the relationship between form, movement, and structural behaviour, helping refine the final kinetic system.
