An analysis into the gallery formations of carpenter ants. The natural occurance of these galleies is encouraged by the presence of wet wood and high glucose levels, as the ants feed on the sugars and exisit within the wooden substrate, producing intricate networks of interconectivity.
Are the last two images your models? If so can you explain how you generated them? I´m attracted to the idea of substraction in this example. Also bear in mind that the final tower model has a boundary shaped like a cylinder which in your case is naturally created by the tree trunk. It is obvious that the paths of the ants follow the maximum amount of glucose in the cellulose. maybe a possibility to obtain variation within the result? Varying Glucose level creates variation in the result? In your next step you have to include one of the following protoarchitectonic problems: aperture, column or compartments.
