ABSTRACT
A shift in focus from intrinsic properties to extrinsic behavior reveals materials' agency in the production of form and experience. The scenario takes an application-based approach to material and works to create what is understood to be a path, including the dimensions and criteria provided for by existing codes and standards but ignoring the dynamic behavior of the material itself. Combined research and field observation allowed us to become familiar with abscission periods, leaf qualities, and decomposition rates based on species and to create a digital model of the site represented by a field of particles with differing properties. Kolarevic as the Digital Continuum, this exchange includes the possibility for geometric data generated within a digital model to be developed simultaneously through modes of analysis and optimization, representation and communication, and manufacturing and assembly. The data from sensors can be imported into management tools, such as Excel, or streamed directly into digital modeling environments.
