Sources for Tier1

Source 1: Nature in architectural form and philosophy, Micheal S. Ferris.
Nature in architectural form and philosophy is about the history and how nature in terms of design and architectural form has come about. It explains the relationship between nature and architect, and nature and design, and how nature has influenced contemporary designs in architecture.

Source 2: Sydney Opera House Utzon Design Principles
Sydney Opera House Utzon Design principles is a book explaining the intentions of Utzon as he constructed the Opera House. In this book, he talks about the relationship between his architect and nature, and how each element that consist in the Opera House resembles nature.

Source 3: Design with nature, Ian L. Mcharg
Design with nature explores the themes of nature as an artwork, almost as an aesthetic. The author captivates images of landscapes and indulges on the aesthetics of the environment consisting in the image. Ian L. Mcharg explores what is so aesthetically beautiful about nature.

Source 4: System Biology: Experimental Design, Clemens Kreutz, Jens Timmer
Systems Biology explains in detail the level of significance experimental modelling, or experimental design has on systems biology, and the impact of the technology. It explains how it contributes to the studies and research of system biology, and the capabilities of experimental modelling.

Source 5: The nature of systems biology, Frank J. Bruggeman
The nature of systems biology contains limited information, yet explores the explains systems biology for a better understanding of what system biology in general is.

Source 6: A Viewpoint on observation and observer design for nonlinear systems, Gildas Besancon
This source gives detailed information of linear and nonlinear designs, and the problems that arise in nonlinear designs. It also explores how nonlinear forms are produced through mathematical equations.

Draft Iterations

I made the point z at null(zero), and increased the integers at x,y making the particles/spheres. spread out through the x,y direction.
I made the point z at null(zero), and made the x,y value at 1 making the particles/spheres form a circular shape through the x,y values.
I made the point z at null(zero), and made the x,y value at 1 making the particles/spheres form a circular shape through the x,y values.
Playing around with lighting tools
X,Y,Z points all reduced to '1', including the number of spheres in each coordinates, and the value of 'r' of the sphere has been increased.
X,Y,Z points all reduced to '1', including the number of spheres in each coordinates, and the value of 'r' of the sphere has been increased.
The number of spheres has been increased in its xvalue.The number of spheres has been increased in both x and y values.
The radius of the spheres have been increased.
The number of spheres have been increased in all x,y,z coordinates
The number of spheres have been increased in all x,y,z coordinates
Normal model of spherical objects circulating to shape a tornado shape.

Extended Research

With the help of my tutor, Malady, I have played and modified with the outcomes of last weeks tutorial i have tried, and came up with my very own pattern using spheres attached to the diameters of circles that extend vertically.
