A3 - GRASSHOPPER NODES
This particular grasshopper flowchart looks complex and overwhelming but is actually repeated. This is obviously because I had repeated the same conceptual buildings. It is merely just the first image (imagea) repeated three times. The green signifying one specific iteration that I had made which experimented with parasitic architecture, having rectangular objects protrude out of the original ellipses structure. This is just repeated three times as there are three towers.
A3 - INSPIRATIONS
I previously researched the concept of spiraling architecture, and was greatly inspired by its design. It could be utilized and manipulated within grasshopper and parametric modelling, and also provides the futuristic sleek look that I was looking for. Zaha Hadid's concept building is also an image used here as one of my inspirations - reitariting the fact that most spiral architecture are often considered to be somewhat futuristic and modernly designed.

2 Resources
TREE OF LIFE
http://symboldictionary.net/?p=34
While having different meanings within several different cultures, the tree shares one common characteristic between most societies - that they are almost always correlated with life (or even death).
In Jewish and Christian mythology life was demonstrated through the trees branches and roots which act as something magnificent and beautiful as it connected outer realms and worlds to our world. Also the bearing of life (e.g. fruit) obviously linked to the creation of life leading to its eventual fall or death.
This helped inspire me to use the concept of life/death within my tree branch theme, as this is a very strong idea with the potential to be sculpted into something very moving and meaningful.
TREE OF KNOWLEDGE, GOOD & EVIL
http://clanofdanu.tripod.com/trees.html
Again linking to biblical values, this holds particular significance to the world as this is the tree which corrupted Adam and Eve.
This directly links to the doctrine of original sin. This holds a very powerful message and can clearly link to my concept of trees.
