STUDIO AIR: SKETCHBOOK
Rhiannon Jones - 557484
Sketchbook: Week One. PART 1.
Step 1: Create curves.
Step 3: put curves into Grasshopper.
Step 5: use F10 to turn on control points and modify surface.
Step 4: loft them in Grasshopper.
Step 6: bake surface.
Step 2: loft curves in Rhino and see that when moving control points, the surface does not move with it.

Sketchbook: Week One. PART 2.
Step 1: Delaynay Triangulation (random points).
Step 4: Using the Triangular Grid.
Step 2: Voronoi (random points).
Step 5: MateBall.
Step 3: Using the Hexagonal Grid.

Step 6: 3D Voronoi and Bake out
Step 7: OcTree
Sketchbook: Week Two. 1. Vector Fundamentals. A vector defines magnitude and direction, a point defines position and a plane defines orientation.
2. Understanding Geometry Transformations and Intersections.
Step 3: dividing polyline into triangulated chunks.
Step 1: creating a mesh surface.
Step 1: setting the magnitude of a vector.
Step 2: meshing geometry. Step 2: setting an axis along which the vector lies and sets its magnitude.
Step 4: offsetting multiple curves and setting a plane so they all offset on the same side
I was unable to get this to work.
Step 3: create a plane with a chosen point as the origin.
3. Curve menu. Step 1: closing two curves.
Step 5: planar surface.
Step 4: adding vectors together. Step 2: points on polyline.

Step 6: evaluate a curve, so that the end is 0 and the other end is 1.
Step 9: interpolate or fitting nurbs curves exactly through a list of points.
Step 10: poly line is straight line segments through the points.
Step 7: divide curve into segments. Step 11: geodesic; I don’t understand, doesn’t work for me.
Step 8: creating an arc between points, dividing arc into specific segments.

4. Image Sampling
Radius of circles too big
Modifying radius of circles
Using a different image
Double layer of circles lofted at an angle to make cones. Page 9

Sketchbook: Part C. Prototyping
1:2 model of tubular solar panel
CNC router for bath visualization, card cutter for people - single pod was supposed to fit over the baths but we could not print it Page 16
Glow stick structure for nighttime visualization and central hub connection
3D printing (powder) of design
3D printing a single hub in plastic - structure failed as too thin, unable to remove supporting structure without breaking the model - too fragile
3D printing (powder) of individual pods placed of baths
Design evolution
modifying the form of the domes by adapting the graph and trimming the bottomwith a brep for the baths
