Some time ago I was contacted by some students from the Architecture School at the Universidad Técnica Federico Santa María, in Santiago, Chile. They asked me for some generative images for the cover of a book they were about to publish. I took the type layout they had designed as a base for making a series of generative variations, with the same kind of particle system I've used for similar works in the past.
They chose one of them and used it in the book. I'm not totally happy with the result: especially, the title gets mingled with the background drawing in a way that makes it partly unreadable. Bad thing. It wasn't me. But otherwise, I think the fluid drawing wrapped all around the cover looks fine.
The student group is called 'Criptonita' and, beyond publishing this book about new ways of thinking the Architecture, they develop a wide range of activities. You can take a look at their site: www.criptonita.cl
And now, the images:
