STORY
The concept of time in the universe is different from that of humanity. When an unknown life form arrives on Earth, can we be certain of the existence of humanity?
The goal of our project, similar to the Pioneer plaque, is to communicate the existence of humanity as an intelligent species, even if we cannot establish direct communication with the unknown life form. Geometry is the fundamental principle that encompasses everything from the cosmos to atoms.
We believe that geometry serves as a common denominator for extraterrestrial beings and humanity to communicate. Even in a scenario where humanity does not exist, we consider geometry to be the most symbolic medium through which we can convey the essence of humanity.

PROCESS
If geometry is the common denominator between the universe and humanity, what represents humanity? DNA is the origin of humanity and serves as a blueprint to describe humanity. So we plan to create a version of the Pioneer plaque using geometry as a medium and incorporating the DNA code of humanity.
The process of forming "HUMAN" with DNA begins with four nucleotides (A, U, G, C) that transform into RNA. Each nucleotide (A, U, G, C) randomly combines in groups of three (AGC, UAC, etc.), which are then bound together by amino acids. This resulting group (3RNA + AMI) forms a "triplet code," and when the triplet code exceeds 20, it creates an organic "protein."
THE PARALLELISM OF GEOMETRIC CODE
After extracting the shapes from the grid, the remaining masses and lines form "amino acids" that bind and assist each shape, resembling the direction of the "Central Dogma" in DNA composition. This results in the formation of interconnected shapes. Each of the combined polyhedrons is transformed into three architectural module forms.
This Code map forms a building containing humanity through geometric structures consistent with the process by which DNA, the origin of humans, reaches life.
