"The Ice Fortress" makes its appearance once a year during winter. This 3D-printed botanical collection is modeled after the six-sided hexagonal ice crystallization process ❄️ Important note: This is a preserved moss terrarium, presented as a way to express our love for botanical art. #terraliving #icefortress #terrarium #zeromoss #3dprint

"The Obsidian"; an elegant palm-sized art piece made possible by algorithmic computation, advanced 3D printing, and botany. #terraliving #3dprint #terrarium #theobsidian #zeromoss

"The Obsidian", a 3D-Printed ZERO Moss botanical sculpture by TerraLiving. • • • Design concept & philosophy • • • In mineralogy, obsidian is a naturally occurring volcanic glass formed as an extrusive igneous rock. "The Obsidian" by TerraLiving is where Zen meets technology & minimalism, adopting the dark, mystic grey of the obsidian surface. A classic Zen-inspired minimalist artwork, "the Obsidian" is an oasis of peace sculpted out of geometric rocks generated by computatio

A closer look at the "Perception 2.0 - Cloud Forest", the live moss experiment we planted a week ago for long-term observation. Sit back, relax, enjoy watching this video and appreciate the tiny details in life, such as moss. **Important note: This is a video of our live moss experiment with fog & mist, captured for visual therapy and relaxation purpose. The fog is NOT applicable for any of our official ZERO Series collections. It would be best NOT to pump fog into any of you

Take a deep breath, relax, and enjoy watching the making of "The Perception 2.0", a living parametric moss sculpture with fog by TerraLiving, without the use of any adhesive. A year of material research & observation, two months of prior planning, and twelve hours of moss transplantation into the 3D printed structure, condensed into a 1-minute video for your viewing pleasure =) By selectively manipulating the biodegradable materials and 3D printing process, the surface of its

"The Perception 2.0" is a parametric botanical sculpture that leaves calming effect because it is so visually soothing to look at. Every parametric plane consists of computer-aided shapes generated based on flower petals in a pleasing, seamless formation. Made possible with 3D printing technology that we closely studied over the years, the various components fit together harmoniously and produce stunning visual effects that flow from one shape to another, following the mathem

"The Vertex - R", ZERO Moss Wall with "Tessellated Obsidian", computer-aided Generated Sculpture in a geometrical glass vessel by TerraLiving. • • • Design concept & philosophy • • • Tessellation refers to the process of dividing and rearranging elements to fit together like puzzle pieces. Applying this concept to art allows us to create a tessellated surface from polygonal shapes, then turn that into 3D-printable geometry. Tessellations span various fields, from computer gra

"The Mitochondria" - a parametric botanical sculpture in geometrical glass vessel by TerraLiving. • • • Design concept & philosophy • • • Mitochondria are "nuclear reactors" or powerhouses of the cell. They are double membrane-bound organelles found in most eukaryotic organisms (ranging from plants to animals). Without mitochondria, advanced life forms like us, humans, and our world will never exist. Through an expression known as biomorphism, our designers create artistic de

"The Embryo" is a palm-sized biomorphic sculpture that focuses on the shapes and forms in nature, such as cell division and bone-lattice structure. While it may be an unfamiliar term to many people, biomorphism expresses nature in synthetic forms, particularly sculpture. There are two primary forms of biomorphic art, analog and digital. With digital biomorphic art, computer modeling programs are used to generate organic shapes or create abstract designs that imitate natural f

Early this year, one of our fans wondered how the biomorphic "Eden" structure feels like when surrounded by our signature moss wall in the Vertex, in contrast to our usual wood-root variant. We accepted the challenge and started working on it. What looked so simple took us months of computer simulation and prototyping to strike the right balance for the "Eden" structure to blend well into the moss wall, all within tight space in the glass. Our designers had to re-build the "E

Biomorphism • Bioarchitecture • BioArt "The Mitosis - Cytokinesis, White Edition", a ZERO Moss Botanical Sculpture by TerraLiving • • • Design concept & philosophy • • • "The Mitosis - Cytokinesis" is our artist's abstract re-imagination of the cell division process. Cytokinesis is the physical process during which the cytoplasm of a single eukaryotic cell divides into two daughter cells. Here at TerraLiving, this is how we want our physical work of art to look in this digita

Take a deep breath, relax, and enjoy watching the making of "The Oracle", a living parametric moss wall with fog by TerraLiving, without the use of any adhesive. A year of material research & observation, three weeks of planning, and eight hours of moss transplantation from mono-species live moss in our lab, condensed into a 1-minute video for your viewing pleasure =) We will talk more about the design theory, material function, and the future of 3D printing playing a signifi

Behind-the-scenes of the ZERO Moss transplantation process for "The Heart", TerraLiving's most luxurious parametric sculpture to date. There are only a pair of "The Heart" in this world. The first piece belongs to a newlywed couple, and this is the second and last piece. • • • 🫀 Design concept & philosophy • • • Where art meets science & technology, this is how biomorphism and bioarchitecture influence TerraLiving's sculptural design. Inspired by one of the cores and most si

The Oracle 2.0 - a desktop parametric moss wall sculpture by TerraLiving • • • Design concept & philosophy • • • Parametric art is an emerging form of computational design, defined as the use of variables and algorithmic rules to generate form. Here at TerraLiving, parametric design enables us to create mathematical objects like waveforms, spheres, or quadratic curves and change their properties such as scale to influence shadow overcast created by different light sources.
