In response to the lack of shelving space available within the Phenomenal Research Center (PRC) at Southern Illinois University, a modular shelving unit has been devised to meet the user’s needs and to satisfy personal visual taste. 

CONCEPT:
The modular composition explores the concept of Lindenmayer Systems as a solution of interchangeable units flexible to the user’s vision.  Lindenmayer Systems also known as L-Systems was selected for its growth process based on specific variables influencing the overall design.   

GENERATIVE PROCESS
