Complexity in Natural Non-living systems Installation Design, Design Studio, 2013 The Second Year Design Workshop focussed on structural and functional com- plexities found in non-living systems in nature. These include geological formations, rocks, minerals, salt, sand &quartz.Complex systems are signified by two or more components that are distinct and integrated. Systems in nature exhibit an inherent complex structure based on their process of formation. These systems react with dynamic environmental factors (such as heat, pressure and agents such as wind, water, light etc) that cause functional complexity so as to achieve a natural state of equilibrium. The studio investigated various complex systems through a process of diagrams and models to devise a dynamic installation based on specific structural complexities and their reactions to changing environmental conditions.
