Organic forms are a constant source of inspiration, because they often offer the most obvious solution to a structural problem. Caged glass speaks above all of the reticulation of surfaces, similar to the armour of organisms with bilateral symmetry. In turtles, the lattice of the carapace is very similar to the metal cage, a more rigid frame under which the rest of the surface expands. Galapagos follows exactly the same generative approach, starting with a hexagonal shape, then expanded parametrically and wrapping the entire lattice around a simple solid, a sphere similar to the rounded carapace of testudo.
