What's up?
What's down?

This project challenges the flexibility of discrete assemblies we can generate with Monoceros. The aim was to create a diverse network of tunnels and stairs to become a playground for children.

A single basic “communication“ element was set with have many directional aggregations, with being full (stairs) or dull (tunnel). Later, a “house” element was added to the ruleset.
All pieces assembled together precisely fill an arbitrary space with tunnels and staircases fluently interconnected into a playful maze.
