Design-ing_2_English Ivy


I have continued my investigation of English Ivy, and have come to see that it is an invasive plant that doesn't grow in one specific way and that grows on any surface. However its leaves are efficient as they grow they alternate which side of the steam they grow on covering as much surface area without overlapping.

In my design I have applied the processes and systems of how english ivy grows to my proposed design for the Toronto Silos.

I have incorporated steel trusses into the design to work with steels properties of working well
under tension.
The design incorporates an enclosed structure that allows for climbing all year round.


This interior enclosure still needs to be designed.
This is it for now...
