I took inspiration from the geometry of a pomegranate to design a seating area that would be placed along the bank of the Schuylkill River at Bartram's Garden in Philadelphia. 
Analysis of pomegranate structure. Each seed is a rhombic dodecahedron and they compact together to form tight clusters.

Site analysis at the river bank of the Schuylkill River at Bartram's garden. Concept model to explore the geometry on an incline. Bug models to represent the construction of a rhombic dodecahedron and negative space.
