Cell Architecture of Monocots & Dicots

Cross section of a young bamboo shoot (a monocot). The more densely arranged vascular bundles are differentiated from the large hollow cells.

Variable Cells

The organization of specialized cells within monocots and dicots.

Introducing variable sized cells at specific locations amongst the nodes of the latter model. The remainder of the cells adapt parametrically to the new cells.

Sequentially increasing the voided areas.

Introducing densely packed cells (green nodes) as in the vascular bundles of monocots. These bundles interact with the previous voided areas (yellow nodes).
