[attr]-action

Flower store project Entomophilous flowers need insects to perform reproduction (through pollination), basing their reproductive potential on attraction. Beauty then performs an essential function. Analyzing the properties of the Cyclamen Graecum, we investigated the particular conditions of petals - the main tool through which the flower signals its presence to insects. In the Cyclamen petals bend upward, creating a very interesting topological condition around the corolla: their plication creates a continuous passage from outer to inner surface, just like some topological surfaces such as the Klein Bottle. Exploring this condition under TopMod® (along with the concepts of involution, gastrulation and with the translucency and color properties of the petals) we tried to avoid a mere biomorphic translation, going more into the generative process driven by the program.
