Building Bodies – Print 16 by Nick Shekerjian completes the series’ exploration of architecture as an emergent computational process. Guided by points, density, height, curve length, and attractive and repulsive forces, the algorithm generates an intricate isometric body in which geometry, code and architectural drawing converge.

Why we like it
We like how the final piece captures what makes the entire Building Bodies series interesting: precision without predictability. It feels technical enough to intrigue an architect and abstract enough to live comfortably as contemporary art.
