The Kale Systems inspiration was taken from common kale (Brassica Oleracea), on which the edges of its green leaves grow significantly faster and larger than the core of the leaves, resulting in overall folded curly shapes with large surface areas. The edge growth has been simulated in Grasshopper using tools from Kangaroo. By a set of rules, seemingly random lines are being generated, recorded growing over time. The generated lines are then connected to a delicate surface, which is the common driver for further explorations. The Eco-Parametric Structures workshop organized by PAACADEMY was held from 2nd March to the 13th…
