Week 2 exercises
WEEK 1
I created the curves on Rhino and linked them to Grasshopper. These curves were then inputted into the loft function creating this basic image.
After baking the image once, I played around with the nodes to create an even more abstract form.
Baking the shape once more allowed me to blow the shape out of proportion and create an abnormal sort of canopy.
Here I am exploring the Voronoi algorithm by using grasshopper to develop a form
WEEK 2
Above: Exploring curves and planar surfaces.
Attempt at driftwood exercise.
The idea of creating islands along the merri trail was inspired by the act of walking along the track. As I walked in the midst of a sunny day, i realized the only experience I endured on was the greenery. The path itself to me was too linear and straight forward. It then triggered me, perhaps something can be added to the site to provide more of an experiential journey. This something was miniature islands. These clusters of islands will also have the capability of providing shelter for both pedestrians and wildlife, being placed every 200m or so, which will change the course of how people walk along the path. To me, adding these islands will disrupt the circulation that currently exists, however in a good way, as I believe this new form of circulation will change the course of how one journeys through the site.
