exercise 1
Window: Fact vs Fiction This exercise takes the line work of a gothic window and alters it to create a realistic gothic window and an abstract gothic window. The abstract gothic window is made from extracted and conjoined shapes. This linework is then intersected, hatched over, and zoomed into in a number of iterations of the fictional window.

exercise 2
column: fact vs fiction This exercise revolves around the classical column system. After the modeling of the column, we were tasked with distorting said column through techniques that involved extracting profiles or sections and then joining these profiles together through Rhino commands. We were finally tasked with documenting both how the models were developed and also the details of a specific column.

Physical Modeling In exercise three, the primary goal was to bring the digital models that were designed in Rhino into the real world.

Developing this model was impossible before technology was introduced.

However, these models can now be made by through separate model making strategies. Said strategies are the Unrolled Surface Model, the Layered Contour Model, and the Egg Crate Model.

These strategies take two dimensional laser cut outs and use unique ways to put them back together.

This mode takes the most amount of pieces to assemble. However, it is the easiest model to put together because the grooves allow for simple construction.

exercise 4
Roof: Fact vs Fiction In this exercise, we were tasked with creating a series of roof types followed by placing dormers into the roofs, creating roof fact. We then developed roof fiction by distorting the roof fact model through rhino commands such as BooleanIntersection, EditCage, and FlowAlongSrf. The fictional roofs are then further distorted through pipe commands and the PtPaneling Tool.

exercise 4 rendering
In this portion of the exercise, we were to use one of the fictional roofs that we produced during the first iteration of the exercise to produce an abstract rendering and realistic rendering. I did this by creating a texture map and applying it to the surface in Rhino, followed by rendering the object with v-ray and editing the image in photoshop.
