ABSTRACT
The Ebola virus first emerged in Sudan and Zaire in 1976 and is considered one of the deadliest viruses of all time. The virus spreads through a self-proliferating yet self-terminating process, extinguishing its only means of survival—the human host—as it multiplies. The virus undergoes a continuous reproductive process, breeding and re-breeding itself as it kills its human host cell by cell; this destructive process lasts between seven and fourteen days. Viral transmission therefore becomes an engine for testing both morphological transformation and the programmatic complexities associated with hosting the Olympic Games in a dense urban environment like Williamsburg, Brooklyn. An analogous translation of a self-perpetrating and degenerative migrational system engenders the foam unit. A series of double pinches or folds produces a unit which wraps into itself over numerous axes. Units combine to form small membrane elements or the parents.
