    Hi Sara, good start.
    Try now to extract from this diagram a way to parameterize the relationships you are working on - with respect to a geometric model.
    I sent you by e-mail a GC file might be of help to have an idea of what some of the possibilities are. It is based on the ideas you described yesterday by voice. Use the diagram you defined in order to elaborate ideas from sponges with respect to architectural meanings, though parametric geometry.
    Waiting for your GC file.

    This diagram is an important step in getting from your research question(s) to a testable hypothesis, and also to a test 'apparatus' - that is, a parametric-associative geometric model and/or whatever other computational tools you choose.

    I think you can now begin to use the elements in this diagram to sketch out the main components and possible behaviors of a geometric model with which you can then test variations' performance.

    Could you next post a drawing - hand-sketch, CAD, or whatever you prefer - showing the basic components (including their arrangement and dimensions) of a facade/envelope/skin system which incorporates at least some of the features and/or characteristics of the sponge system? This should also indicate which parameters (e.g. size, arrangement, orientation, etc.) you propose to vary in order to achieve the effects of ventilation (and/or lighting) which you desire.
