LOFTING & STATE CAPTURE
Blanket-like roofing? Could be good for transitioning between public and private spaces. Openings seem inviting. Overall forms seem organic.
LOFTING + BAKING THREE CURVES
VISUALISING INTERPOLATION OF LOFTED SURFACES CONCEPTUALISATION 3
TRIANGULATION ALGORITHMS
POPULATE 2D, DELAUNAY & VORONOI
Increasing Octree resolution produces a ‘smoother’ final form

CONCEPTUALISATION 5
Experimenting with processing Voronoi 3D with another Voronoi 3D
6 CONCEPTUALISATION
MESH GEOMETRY WELD AND MESH SMOOTH
Adjusting the smoothing level transforms geometric model into organic, more dynamic outcome
CONCEPTUALISATION 7
MESH GEOMETRY INTERPOLATE CURVE (PREVIOUS) GEODESIC
8 CONCEPTUALISATION
Increasing interpolated curve density highlights the Moire effect
CONCEPTUALISATION 9
TRANSFORM MENU CONTOUR + LOFT (RIGHT)
Lofting did not seem to match that of the tutorial this one seems too sharp and geometric. Maybe adjust loft settings?
10 CONCEPTUALISATION
Applying Dolly Zoom increases sense of depth, helping the viewer feel like they are there in the image
CONCEPTUALISATION 11
SCALING AND DISTORTING COUNTOURS
Extending from 2D distortion, I decided to use a 3D reference geometry and play with its forms. The initial iteration looks a lot more dynamic whereas the final iteration looks aggressive probably due to the sharp edges

CONCEPTUALISATION 15
DRIFTWOOD SURFACES OFFSET + EXTRUSION + SPLIT SURFACE Experimented with distorting the reference curves. At some points, the loft surfaces did not appear?
16 CONCEPTUALISATION
CONCEPTUALISATION 17
DATA TREES CROSS REFERENCE
Tried to use Cross Reference on round, organic curves. The overlapping is very interesting and there is no overall pattern or repetition.
18 CONCEPTUALISATION
Interesting to see the changes in patterns of holes and overlaps between the threads joining the lines of points when I change the number of points on one line (i.e. left line: 20 points, right line: from 30 to 50 points)
CONCEPTUALISATION 19
CULL PATTERNS LIST + CULL
I thought it would be interesting to use an image with a lot of gradient definition to cull because culling makes it monotonous and textures are only created through the difference in sizes of the circles.
20 CONCEPTUALISATION
GRIDSHELLS DIVIDE + EXPLODE TREE + SHIFT + REBUILD + GEODESIC
Explored different geometric configurations and manually rotates curves to investigate differences between Grasshoper’s Shift function
CONCEPTUALISATION 21
I really like the depth portrayed in this spiralwithin-spiral form
