MORPHOSPACE / RESEARCH

The Science
of Forms

Investigating how simple rules, structures, and transformations give rise to extraordinary diversity of form.

01 / RESEARCH AREAS

Four spaces of inquiry.

RESEARCH 01

Twisty Puzzle Morphospace

Geometry, rotation axes, cut structures, movement mechanisms, and the design of novel puzzles.

RESEARCH 02

Kusudama Morphospace

Floral and geometric modular origami: modules, folding rules, polyhedral structures, and assembly.

RESEARCH 03

Geometric Morphospace

Polyhedra, symmetry, stellation, recursive constructions, and mathematical form families.

RESEARCH 04

Stitch Morphospace

Knitting and crochet stitch structures, repeatable patterns, and generative textile surfaces.

02 / RESEARCH PROJECTS

From observation to exploration.

Each research area is being developed through a common framework: a review of prior work, a taxonomy of forms, research questions, methods, and documented experiments. Individual project pages will be added as studies mature.

  • Research overview
  • Research questions
  • Background & prior work
  • Methods & design
  • Progress & experiments
  • Results & resources
03 / RESEARCH OUTPUTS

Knowledge in progress.

Future outputs may include taxonomies, diagrams, digital models, interactive studies, research notes, open code, and written reports.

04 / RESEARCH NOTES

An evolving notebook.

Literature, observations, failed attempts, design decisions, and open questions are part of the research process. Selected notes will be shared as the work develops.
