Glasshouse

A greenhouse grown from code

Every stem, petal and wingbeat is generated, nothing drawn by hand. Your scroll is the sun, carrying the day from dawn to night.

Scroll

Dawn

Seedlings wake with the light

Each plant grows from a single number that sets its lean, branching and pace. As light warms the beds, stems climb and leaves unfurl.

Noon

Every petal opens

At the day’s height, blooms open petal by petal. Their colour is sampled from the light, so no two afternoons flower alike.

Afternoon

Vines climb the glass

The dome’s ribs were built to be climbed. Tendrils trace each strut until structure and growth become one drawing.

Dusk

Dusk belongs to the wings

As the light turns amber, butterflies leave the canopy. Each flight is improvised, carrying the last colour between blooms.
