Project Description: rETERNAL reimagines nature’s principles of growth and self-organization as a dynamic circular art installation. Composed of 1,450 pre-cut timber pieces, the pavilion takes inspiration from bio-intelligent systems, where natural forms emerge through local interactions and simple rules.
By integrating computational design, augmented reality, and circular economy practices, rETERNAL transforms discarded materials into an evolving work of art. Using Microsoft HoloLens 2, participants become co-creators, guided by holographic overlays that suggest the optimal placement of each wooden piece, ensuring both structural stability and artistic expression.
