bloom

Bloom focuses on design inspired by nature in order to devise new strategies to innovate forms and functions. By investigating various organisms, the goal is to create structures using locally available materials. In the case of the common milkweed, dehiscence is caused by the form of the follicle itself. Where, as the follicle hygroscopically dries, the built-in line of weakness splits causing the follicle to open circumferentially from its long axis.
