Unit Variation: Same Shape, Different Size

A group of components that are of the same origin but each different. Hundreds of units of the same shape are suspended from the ceiling, but the size and rotation angle of each vary slightly according to its position: the largest in the center, gradually shrinking towards the edges; the angle slowly rotates along one direction. Thus, from a distance, it appears as an organic whole, while up close, each unit is still the same shape. Avoid: making the shape of each unit completely different, using completely identical units without variation, making the rule of variation indiscernible, making the number of units too small.

一組同源但各不相同的構件。天花上懸掛著上百個相同形狀的單元,但每一個的尺寸與旋轉角度依照位置略有不同:中央的最大、往邊緣逐漸縮小;角度則沿著一個方向緩慢旋轉。因此遠看是一個有機的整體形態,近看每一個單元又是同一個形狀。避免:讓每一個單元的形狀完全不同、使用完全一致沒有變異的單元、讓變異的規則看不出來、把單元的數量做得太少。
