Invisible Architecture

Invisible Architecture is a site-specific bamboo art installation by the artists the Starn twins, which will be exhibited at the NHM (Natural History Museum). Bamboo is the fastest-growing plant. Inspired by that, I created a generative functional website. People can build their own typographic bamboo sculptures when they browse this website.
Learning Outcomes:
I utilized p5.js to generate dynamic typography, serving as the backdrop for the website. By allowing the mouse to trigger the construction of typographic structures, I aimed to provide the audience with an effortless way to appreciate the beauty of random growth. Subsequently, I integrated this into GitHub, combining it with HTML to enhance the informative aspect of the front end."
