WEEK 1LOFTING CURVES

- 1 set showing 5 versions of lofting with 2 curves

- 1 set showing 5 versions of lofting with 3 curves

- 1 set showing 5 versions of lofting with 4 curves

By initiating with a simplistic planar surface, there was an opportunity to manipulate the form by altering the orientation of the nodes within its edges. Consequently, a warped entity has resulted due to the ends of the loft meeting at a individual point; creating a sense of rhythm within the final iteration.

The differentiation between horizontal and vertical curves resulted in a rippled effect within the loft, allowing for a sense of layering within each iteration. Such behaviour emulated aspects of functionality, as each sunken surface could be a possible amenity such as a seat.

A notion of fluidity within this lofted curve has been obtained due to the oscillating nature of the horizontal and vertical curves. Such interacting has facilitated for an elongated form, which weaves and interacts within and around its context, adding to the complexity of the form through each iteration.

WEEK 1GIRDS AND TRIAGULATION

- 1 set showing 5 versions of Populate 3d and Voronoi

- 1 set showing 5 versions of Populate 2D and Delaunay

- 1 set showing 5 versions of rectangular grid with cirucular extrusion

CONCEPTUALISATION 7

By formulating a box with the populate 3D command, I was able to explore the possibilities that the voronoi triangulation component could have in terms of thresholds and limitations. A notion of reduction is evident in my iterations as I explored how the initial form could be refined, allowing the fragments to illustrate a sense of elegance which could be used in potential installations.

The second more of triangulation explored primarily evolved from a 2D surface under the command of populate 2D. By allowing the delaunay component to segregate the form around the points a type of shell was created, and once extruded allowed for an inverse form to the of the previous iteration, denoting elements of positive and negative space.

A grid-formated rectangle acted as the basis for regulated circular forms, allowing each point to act as a pivotal centre. By developing the influence of singular points on the gravitation of the form, I was surprised to see a manifested form of extruded evolution; a result which despite random depicts certain techniques which could be helpful in further explorations.
